Boston is experiencing a mix of conditions this week, ranging from sunshine to potential snowfall in some areas. According to the National Weather Service, today in Boston will witness sunny skies with temperatures reaching a high near 52. Moving into the evening, there's a slight chance of drizzle with patchy fog creeping in after 1 a.m., while the temperatures drop to around 40.
The forecast for Thursday suggests a continuation of the damp theme, with patchy drizzle mainly between 9 a.m. and 11 a.m., and the possibility of fog before the late morning clears up. Temperatures are predicted to reach a high near 56. The weekend also promises a brief respite with mostly sunny skies and highs nearing 59 on Saturday before the cold returns to conclude the weekend.
Projections from the NBC Boston's weather team indicate that a storm out of the Rockies is expected to reach Massachusetts by Friday morning. As it intensifies by the afternoon, colder air gets dragged in, with the potential to "switch some parts of the Commonwealth and southern New Hampshire over to snow – with minor accumulations." In the wake of the storm, winds are forecast to increase, and temperatures will bounce back to the 40s.
Looking forward, another system might be making its way through early next week, offering yet another mix to the spring weather pattern. Despite the accumulated precipitation and varying temperatures, pollen levels are to stay "within tolerable limits," but Massachusetts residents can expect those levels to rise as we proceed deeper into the season, signaling a shift in the environment as the earth renews itself once again.
