Boston is preparing for a variety of weather conditions, starting with calmer skies after recent strong winds. Gusts at Logan Airport recently approached 50 mph, but Saturday brought clearer skies, with temperatures remaining on the cooler side, according to NBC Boston.
The National Weather Service forecasts up to a quarter-inch of rain in Boston by Sunday afternoon as a weather system moves eastward from the northern Plains and Upper Midwest, transitioning from snow to rain. Delays continue at Logan Airport due to disruptions at Chicago’s O’Hare Airport caused by heavy snowfall, and passengers departing from Boston are advised to check their flight status.
The city anticipates skies will clear by Monday morning, resulting in a mix of sun and clouds for commuters. Attention is already turning to Tuesday, when a winter storm is expected, prompting a First Alert day. NBC Boston reported that officials are still determining details, including the storm’s exact path, which could affect travel conditions depending on whether it moves northward or southward.
Logan Airport, located near warmer ocean waters around 50 degrees, may see little snowfall, while inland areas such as the northwest Merrimack Valley could experience heavier snow. Tuesday’s commutes could be affected by these varying conditions. Forecasts are expected to become more precise as the storm approaches, and residents are advised to stay updated on potential snow and rain, NBC Boston reported.
