Boston is starting the day under a gray lid of clouds and a raw northwest breeze, with Logan (KBOS) clocking in around 54°F at about 5:40 a.m. EDT. A cold front slipped offshore overnight, leaving behind a slight chance of spotty showers early this morning before skies stay mostly cloudy with only limited peeks of afternoon sun. Despite that early reading in the 50s, temperatures will slide, with a high near 46°F and north winds of 10 to 18 mph making it feel colder than the numbers suggest.
What To Expect Today
Look for a small chance of light rain before about 7 a.m., then mainly cloudy skies through the rest of the day with a high near 46°F. North winds around 10 to 18 mph will keep bike commutes brisk and waterfront walks downright blustery. These details come from the National Weather Service.
Afternoon Winds And Commute
By this afternoon, gusty winds will knock a few extra degrees off the feels-like temperature, so a windproof layer is your friend and any loose patio furniture should be locked down. For weekend plans, keep in mind the MBTA has service suspensions on some lines, so pad in extra travel time and double-check your route before heading out. Schedule details are listed at Boston.com.
Marine And Weekend Outlook
Small Craft Advisories remain posted for parts of the coastal waters this morning, and seas will stay choppy through the day, so recreational boaters and harbor ferries should go easy and use caution. Drier, colder air moves in tonight with a low near 28°F. Saturday looks brisk and partly sunny with a high near 36°F, followed by a warming trend from Sunday into early next week. Forecasters suggest keeping an eye on updates for a potentially wetter, milder stretch by midweek.
