Bostonians can expect a break in the weather with sunny skies today before conditions shift heading into the weekend, as reported by the National Weather Service. The forecast for today predicts "sunny, with a high near 43. Northwest wind 3 to 6 mph," giving residents a chance to enjoy some mild weather after recent fluctuations. The city will see temperatures cooling down tonight with "patchy fog between 1am and 2am" and a low around 26 degrees, accompanied by some calm winds.
Friday's weather will be a mix of sun and incoming showers, with "a chance of showers, mainly after 4pm" and "light south wind increasing to 6 to 11 mph in the morning," as per the National Weather Service. Winds could gust as high as 22 mph, while the "chance of precipitation is 30%." The evening may continue to get wetter, with showers likely before 11 pm and gusts potentially reaching the same intensity.
According to NBC Boston, "Clouds will be on the increase tomorrow as one of two weather systems move our way." The forecast suggests that showers will likely start in the late afternoon or early evening, but are expected to be brief and not significantly dampen the day. The south winds will also help temperatures peak in the "upper 40s to near 50." With these winds and increasing clouds, Boston will transition from this brief sunny period into a more typical winter weather pattern.
As the weekend approaches, conditions are expected to become cooler, with the likelihood of rain increasing by Saturday afternoon. Cooler air will dip temperatures to the "mid and upper 40s" and precipitation will initiate, possibly "starting as a brief mix in northern Massachusetts and southern New Hampshire," according to NBC Boston. Eventually, rain should become the more dominant weather feature, with a "chance of precipitation is 60%" as mentioned by the National Weather Service.
The rest of the weekend will see a continuation of rainy weather, but there is relief in sight. "Rain likely, mainly before 8am" on Sunday followed by a cloudy yet dry afternoon with highs near 44 degrees, leading into a more serene start to the next week. As the Patriots gear up for their game, they can expect dry and chilly conditions, offering a potential edge over their opponents from warmer climates, according to the National Weather Service.
