UPDATE: Boston is bracing for a blustery day as the National Weather Service (NWS) warns of wind gusts reaching up to 40 mph. As temperatures struggle to reach a high of 53 degrees, residents are urged to take precautions against the chilly conditions and strong winds.
Currently, Bostonians are experiencing slippery conditions due to morning rain and light sleet, particularly on wet leaves. Authorities report that while a brief rain shower or flurry is possible, the impacts are expected to be minimal. However, the strong winds combined with lower temperatures create a significant risk, making it crucial for everyone to remain vigilant.
Looking ahead, the weather is expected to stabilize this week. After today’s gusty conditions, the winds will decrease by Tuesday and Wednesday, allowing for calmer weather. Temperatures will remain cold, dipping below freezing during the mornings, with daytime highs reaching around 46 degrees midweek.
Residents should prepare for a shift in weather later this week, as a new system is anticipated to bring rain from Friday into Saturday. The NWS indicates a 60% chance of rain on Friday, which will decrease to 50% by Friday evening. Saturday may also see some showers, accompanied by partly sunny skies, with a 40% chance of rainfall.
As Boston navigates these blustery conditions, officials recommend staying indoors where possible and using caution while traveling. The community’s safety is paramount as the weather continues to change. Stay tuned for further updates as the week progresses.
