Boston residents can expect a snowy day today as the city will see snow mainly before 4pm, with a high near 33 degrees and light winds shifting from northwest to north at 10 to 15 mph, according to the National Weather Service. Total daytime snow accumulation is predicted to be between 1 to 3 inches.
Tonight, the chance of snow will diminish quickly, with only a 30% chance of precipitation expected before 9 p.m. After the snow, there is a potential for snow showers; however, as the sky turns partly cloudy and temperatures drop to a low around 14 degrees, wind chill values may plummet to as low as −1. Northwest winds could reach 18 mph, with gusts as high as 30 mph, meaning the wind chill will likely be significantly lower. Residents should bundle up if they are venturing outside.
For those braving the cold, "Monday’s lows will drop to the teens with highs in the mid 20s. But a biting wind will make it feel only like the negative single digits in the morning and the teens in the afternoon," as reported by WHDH. The upcoming week projects a slight chance of snow showers tomorrow night, with mostly cloudy conditions and lows around 20 degrees.
Looking ahead, Tuesday is expected to bring sunshine with less wind and highs in the low 30s, giving Bostonians a brief respite from the recent biting cold. Wednesday gets a bit warmer, starting off in the low 20s and climbing to 44 degrees with mostly sunny skies, as per National Weather Service forecasts. Thursday’s temperatures are set to rise even higher, reaching near 50 degrees, with the possibility of showers later in the evening continuing into Friday, when it is likely to reach the low 50s with rain in the morning. However, Saturday should dry out, offering partly sunny skies and highs closer to the seasonal average in the low 40s.
