Boston's weather this week will vary, with sunny skies today and a high near 44°F, accompanied by northwest winds up to 17 mph and gusts reaching 28 mph. Clouds increase tonight with a low around 32°F, and lighter winds. By Monday, a brief period of snow is possible before 10 a.m., transitioning to rain with a high near 48°F, as reported by the National Weather Service
On Sunday, the National Weather Service issued a Special Weather Statement warning of an "elevated risk for fire spread." Low humidity near 20 percent and gusty northwest winds in the morning created conditions for rapid fire spread. Residents were advised to use caution with ignition sources such as machinery and cigarettes.
Monday will be rainy and cool, with highs in the upper 30s to mid-40s. Drier weather returns Tuesday, bringing "seasonable temperatures in the 40s to low 50s," as described by NBC Boston. Light rain or snow showers are possible late Thursday into Friday, with temperatures near or slightly below normal. A warm-up is expected next weekend as high pressure moves in.
