UPDATE: Boston is bracing for a blustery day as the National Weather Service warns of wind gusts reaching up to 40 mph today. With temperatures struggling to hit a high of around 53 degrees, residents are advised to prepare for a chilly and windy day ahead.
Winds are expected to peak between 30 and 40 mph, creating slippery conditions due to morning rain and light sleet, particularly on wet leaves, according to Boston 25 News. While there may be brief rain showers or light snow, officials confirm that any impacts are likely to be minor.
The National Weather Service reports that although strong winds will persist today, mostly sunny days are in the forecast for the week ahead. However, mornings will remain cold, dipping below freezing. As the week progresses, calmer conditions are expected, with daytime highs in the 40s.
Looking ahead, Monday is set to be mostly sunny but still windy, with winds gradually decreasing on Tuesday and Wednesday. Evening temperatures will drop into the low 30s, creating a stark contrast to the warmer daytime highs that will reach around 46 degrees midweek.
A new weather system is forecast to bring rain from Friday into Saturday, with a 60% chance of rain on Friday, tapering to 50% by Friday evening. Saturday may witness showers alongside partly sunny skies, marking a significant shift from the predominantly dry and windy weather experienced earlier in the week.
