Boston residents can expect a brisk start to their weekend as the city feels the full onset of winter's chill. According to Boston 25 News, the morning began with temperatures dipping into the single digits and teens, factoring in the wind chill. Despite the sunshine, highs are struggling to push past the low 30s today. As stated by the National Weather Service, a breezy afternoon is expected with winds gradually calming as the night approaches.
The skies tomorrow should showcase increasing clouds yet remain precipitation-free, culminating in temperatures grazing the upper 30s. Come Sunday, a minor snow event is forecasted by the National Weather Service, with light snow likely, especially before 9am. Accumulations seem to be a trifling affair for the city, with less than an inch predicted, but traveling southeastward, piles of 1–3 inches might appear, so early Sunday travelers should bear roads potentially slick with this light dusting in mind.
Looking ahead to next week, Monday promises to usher in a return of sunshine, though with temperatures taking a dive into the mid-20s, as per Boston 25 News. West winds will be persistent throughout the day, approaching speeds of 10 to 14 mph, with the possibility of gusts surging as high as 30 mph. The skies, mostly sunny, will do little to abate the pervading bite of the cold.
The onset of the week continues this frigid pattern, with Tuesday and Wednesday providing some respite. As the week progresses, the temperatures are set to rise gradually, with Wednesday's high hovering near the more forgiving mark of 42 degrees. This slight thaw doesn't imply a complete reversal, however; the week remains characterized by the prevailing chill of a Bostonian December, with nighttime lows dipping into at least the low 20s, as reported by the National Weather Service.
