Boston residents can bask in some rare April sunshine today, though it might be wise to keep a warm coat on hand. With temperatures hitting a high near 47 and wind chills dipping to the teens, locals will be experiencing what might feel like a throwback to winter's chill. The sunny weather might be a respite from the typical pattern, but brisk winds at 11 to 14 mph will ensure it feels colder than it looks, according to the National Weather Service.
Tonight, the thermometer drops further, down to around 30, as the winds calm to a 5 to 9 mph pace. Tomorrow promises more sunshine but brings a mostly cloudy evening and a 20% chance of rain after 9 p.m. Following suit, Friday night presents a 40% chance of rain, mainly after 11 p.m., intensifying over a dreary weekend dominated by a robust 80% probability of precipitation, as reported by NBC Boston's weather forecast.
The unwelcome weekend weather continues with what NBC Boston describes as "a raw, windswept rain that will last from start to finish." A storm developing off the New Jersey coast sprawls across New England, bringing gusty northeast winds as high as 28 mph on Saturday. This dampening trend sticks around through Sunday, with a likelihood of rain at 60%.
However, as the new week begins, so does a break in the clouds. Monday forecasts offer partial sunshine, with highs nearly grazing 59 degrees. The week's peak appears to be Tuesday, with an anticipated high near 65 and an ushering in of calmer west winds at 6 to 11 mph – although, by midweek, temperatures may recede once more, a rhythm as familiar to Bostonians as the ebb and flow of tides on their storied shores.
