Bostonians should brace for a mixed bag of winter weather this week, with chances of snow, rain, and a range of temperatures to dress for. The week kicks off with the possibility of snowfall tomorrow morning, according to the National Weather Service, though little accumulation is expected. Highs will hover just below freezing near 28 degrees, while the evening could bring new snow of less than an inch.

The outlook for overnight into Monday describes the drop in temperatures into the single digits and frigid lows starting dry, but snow could start in the late afternoon and become widespread by evening, as reported by WHDH. Not the best of news for those hoping for an easy Monday commute or a warm start to the week.

Tuesday morning may offer slight chances of snow prior to the morning's rush, transitioning to a slight possibility of rain in the afternoon with highs reaching more amiable territories near 38 degrees. Meanwhile, Tuesday night brings with it a higher likelihood of rain, as per the National Weather Service's forecast.

Midweek ushers in continued chances of precipitation with rain expected to taper off before Wednesday afternoon, the temperatures are aiming for a more comfortable high of 43 degrees. The evening will settle into partly cloudy skies, cooling down to a low around 32, signaling a brief respite from the previous days' tempestuous weather patterns.

Looking toward the end of the week, Boston will see a brighter Thursday with mostly sunny skies and highs in the mid-40s. The brief shift in weather won’t last long, as Friday brings another chance of rain, as stated by the National Weather Service, with similar conditions possibly lingering into the weekend on Saturday.
