Bostonians are preparing for the ongoing cold, with weather forecasts indicating a shift toward milder days. The National Weather Service reports cloudy skies today with a high near 30 degrees and winds gusting up to 20 mph. The current cold snap is expected to continue, with tonight's low around 20 degrees and a slight chance of snow showers late in the evening.
Looking forward to the weekend, the outlook appears relatively tranquil. The NBC Boston report relays that "This winter is on track to be the coldest in seven years in Boston," yet there's still a silver lining. Temperatures are expected to rise to the mid-30s by Friday and approach 40 degrees by the weekend. This will provide a break from the recent streak of snowy weekends, marking the first three-weekend pause from snowflakes and flurries.
As the new week begins, weather forecasts indicate a gradual thaw. Monday will feature partly sunny skies with highs near 40, and rain is possible by Monday night. The warming trend is expected to continue through midweek, reaching the mid-40s, a change from the colder conditions of previous weeks.
Although there is a break in precipitation, attention is focused on a potential wet period later in the week. The NBC Boston forecast notes that a storm along the Eastern Seaboard could bring rain, which will be closely monitored. For now, the city prepares for the end of the cold season, with milder air expected in the coming days.
