Boston's winter continues to showcase its capricious temperament with an upcoming mix of snow, sunny spells, and biting cold snaps. So far, the city has recorded 14.5 inches of snow this season, inching past last year's figures but still falling short of the 30-year average of 24.7 inches. With snow accumulation barely making a dent in historical averages, Bostonians remain bundled and braced for more unpredictable weather patterns.
For those looking out their frosted windows today, expect to see increasing clouds and a chilly high near 28 degrees, with gentle north winds turning calm, as reported by the National Weather Service. Tonight, the forecast insists on 100% chance of snow after 10 p.m., hinting at a fresh coating of 1 to 3 inches to start off the work week.
A brief glimpse of respite comes on Monday with mostly cloudy skies and highs nudging up to 39 degrees. However, the city must brace for another dip as NBC Boston forecasts "gusty northwest winds (possibly over 30 mph)" bringing sharper temperature drops on Tuesday. The dance between snow, clear skies, and the promise of rain continues as the week progresses, making for a classic New England winter experience.
Thursday's weather twists again with the likelihood of snow before 10 a.m., transitioning to rain mixed with snow, then solely rain after noon. Amid these frequent shifts, folks can look forward to mostly sunny skies on Friday, offering Boston a quick breath of 'calm' before the next potential snow chance comes Saturday.
