URGENT UPDATE: Boston residents are bracing for a blustery day as the National Weather Service announces wind gusts reaching up to 40 mph. The city is currently experiencing strong winds and slippery conditions following overnight rain and light sleet, with temperatures expected to peak at around 53 degrees today.
Winds are anticipated to sustain speeds between 30 mph and 38 mph, causing potential hazards, especially on wet leaves. Authorities warn that these conditions could lead to dangerous travel, so caution is advised when commuting. Although a brief rain shower or light snow could occur, impacts are expected to be minimal.
Looking ahead, Boston will enjoy mostly sunny days in the coming week, but chilly mornings will see temperatures plunge below freezing. Highs will stabilize in the mid-40s, with Monday set to remain mostly sunny but still windy. Relief from the gusty conditions is expected on Tuesday and Wednesday, when winds are predicted to decrease significantly.
As we approach the end of the week, a new weather system is on the horizon, potentially bringing rain from Friday into Saturday. The National Weather Service reports a 60% chance of rain on Friday, decreasing to 50% Friday evening. Saturday may feature scattered showers amid partly sunny skies, marking a shift from the dry and windy weather experienced earlier in the week.
Residents are urged to stay informed about the changing conditions and prepare for a chilly and windy day ahead. Keep an eye on local forecasts for updates as this developing weather situation unfolds.
