Bostonians, brace yourself for a seasonably cool weekend with a side of daylight saving time adjustments. According to the National Weather Service, today's weather shows Boston bathed in sunshine with high temps peaking near 56 degrees, accompanied by gusty west winds up to 18 mph, and gusts clocking in as high as 36 mph.
Tonight, the city can expect mostly clear skies with a low around 36 degrees, with a west wind blowing 7 to 10 mph, which could see gusts as high as 23 mph. Following the chilly night, tomorrow is set to bring calmer winds and a high near 54, creating an ideal setting for those precious sunshine hours before the clocks rewind. NBC Boston notes that the respite from stronger winds will make the low to mid-50s feel a touch more comfortable throughout the day.
Also of significance, Bostonians might want to take a moment before heading to bed on Saturday to turn their clocks back an hour, as the transition from daylight saving time to standard time officially happens at 2 a.m. tomorrow. This tradition of "fall back" promises an earlier sunset—jumping from 5:37 p.m. on Saturday to a notably earlier 4:35 p.m. tomorrow, according to a reminder from the NBC Boston news outlet.
Looking into the next workweek, the National Weather Service forecasts a mild Monday with high near 60, before potential rain arrives, potentially dampening the evening and early Tuesday hours. The likelihood of rain sits at 30% by Monday afternoon and shoots to a 70% chance come nightfall, transitioning into a damp prelude to the week. But fear not, as sunshine is expected to return promptly with Tuesday's high soaring nearly to 58 degrees.
