UPDATE: Boston is bracing for a blustery day with winds gusting up to 40 mph as reported by the National Weather Service. Residents can expect high temperatures around 53 degrees today, but the chilly winds will create a significant wind chill effect, making it feel colder.
As of this morning, Boston is experiencing strong gusts and slippery conditions due to rain and light sleet, particularly on wet leaves. The weather advisory warns that while a brief rain shower or light snow is possible, any impact is likely to be minimal. However, caution is advised on the roads due to the slick conditions.
Looking ahead, the week will bring a mix of cold mornings and mostly sunny days, although temperatures will dip below freezing at night. The winds are expected to decrease starting Tuesday, providing a brief respite from the current bluster. Midweek highs are forecasted to reach around 46 degrees.
Starting Friday, a new weather system is projected to roll into the area, bringing a 60% chance of rain that evening, which decreases to 50% later on. Saturday could see scattered showers under partly sunny skies, marking a stark contrast to the dry and windy conditions experienced earlier in the week.
Residents are urged to stay informed on the latest weather updates as the situation develops. The National Weather Service continues to monitor conditions closely, and officials advise staying vigilant, especially while commuting.
As this weather pattern unfolds, Boston’s community is reminded to take necessary precautions to ensure safety amid the gusty winds and fluctuating temperatures. Keep an eye on local news for updates on the developing forecast.
