The city of Boston is experiencing a varied weather pattern, starting with a dense fog advisory that was issued by the National Weather Service Boston/Norton MA. In a statement obtained by NWS, visibility may be reduced to "one quarter mile or less at times in dense fog" impacting eastern Massachusetts including the Cape and Islands until 10 a.m. EDT Thursday. Motorists are advised to "slow down, use your headlights, and leave plenty of distance ahead of you" to navigate the hazardous driving conditions.
As per today's Boston weather forecast from the same source, temporary relief from the fog is expected with "areas of drizzle before 10am" and a high near 54, though the weather is set to shift tonight as "rain likely, mainly after 3am" with a 60% chance of precipitation and low around 43 while heading into Friday morning commuting will be greeted with more rain, adding new precipitation amounts between a tenth and quarter of an inch possible, an announcement that aligns with reports from NBC Boston speculating on the potential for wet snowflakes during Friday's peak travel hours.
The weekend ushers in a brief respite, as NWS predicts Saturday will be "mostly sunny" with a rebound in temperature reaching the high 50s, but true to the New England weather roller coaster, a plunge back into the 40s arrives by Sunday. This continual dance between seasons persists into next week with a chance of snow on Monday morning transitioning back to rain, and uncertain precipitation peppered throughout the following days, maintaining a pattern of meteorological fickleness.
Amidst the transient weather conditions, Friday's forecast from NBC Boston indicates "the rain won’t last all day, but we’ll get a solid shot of it during the morning commute" and even as the storm clears, Bostonians should brace for a brisk wind with gusts buffeting up to 40 mph as the skies relent to sunshine in the afternoon. The forecast for Monday teeters towards the stormy side once again, with more rain predicted by the start of the new week, ensuring that the local populace keep umbrellas at hand and tread cautiously through yet another unpredictable chapter of spring in New England.
