As Bostonians start their workweek, they're greeted by an early spring chill, with today's weather forecast calling for isolated showers and breezy conditions. Those planning to step out may want to keep a jacket handy as northwest winds blow at 17 to 20 mph, with gusts reaching as high as 33 mph. While temperatures hover around 60 degrees, the wind chill might suggest otherwise, dropping to somewhere in the upper 30s by tomorrow morning.
Monday night's temperatures are set to dip, prompting Bostonians to wrap up warmly, with lows forecasted around 46 degrees and a persistent northwest wind will ensure it feels brisker than what one might expect for late May, this according to the latest report by NBC Boston. As the week progresses, the pattern of cooler temps continues with the likelihood of clouds and brief rains, particularly north of the Mass Pike though most spots will likely remain dry.
Those holding out for a change in the weather can anticipate a coastal system that's due to bring a bout of rainfall and gusty winds from Thursday into Friday, keeping temperatures mostly in the 50s. As we inch closer to the weekend, the chance of showers persists with the possibility indicated to be as high as 80% during Thursday and Thursday night.
Looking forward to Memorial Day weekend, there appears to be a sliver of hope for a break in the damp conditions; expectations are for drier and more seasonable weather by Sunday. The specifics of the forecast for the holiday weekend are still developing, but according to updates by both NWS and NBC Boston, it seems there's potential for sunnier skies to finally make an appearance, granting some respite from the grey and wet days that have seemingly taken hold of Boston's weather pattern this week.
