Boston residents are bracing for a series of winter storms that are set to hit the area over the next week, starting with a mix of snow and rain this Thursday. According to the National Weather Service's forecast, the city today will see sunny skies with a high near 28 degrees, while tonight cloud cover will increase, dropping temperatures to around 16 degrees.
The real activity begins on Thursday, with the National Weather Service predicting "snow before 3pm, then rain and snow likely between 3pm and 4pm, then a chance of rain after 4pm." With steadily rising temperatures, the mix of precipitation is expected to bring 2 to 4 inches of snow. Bostonians are looking toward a high near 36 degrees with a south wind transitioning to east in the afternoon. With a 100% chance of precipitation, it's best to be prepared for a definite change in the weather.
Following the winter mix, Friday's outlook improves, with mostly sunny conditions and a high of around 40. However, NBC Boston reports another storm system arriving by the weekend that may bring significant snowfall to the area. Northern Massachusetts and southern New Hampshire could see heavier snow accumulation, potentially exceeding six inches depending on the storm's track, which is yet to be determined.
Timing for this system remains uncertain, with potential impacts from Tuesday night through Wednesday night. Early indications suggest it may be a primary snow event for the region, as per the same NBC Boston coverage. Forecasters are urging Bostonians to keep an eye on the evolving weather conditions through various information outlets.
