URGENT UPDATE: Boston is bracing for blustery winds reaching up to 40 mph today, as confirmed by the National Weather Service. Residents can expect a high of just 53 degrees, with strong gusts creating slippery conditions from earlier rain and light sleet.
The winds, which could peak at 38 mph, are particularly hazardous on wet leaves, presenting a risk for accidents. Authorities urge caution for those commuting or engaging in outdoor activities. Although a brief rain shower or light snow is possible, impacts are expected to be minimal.
Looking ahead, Boston will see calmer weather later in the week, with temperatures in the 40s and mostly sunny skies on Monday. However, expect continued windiness today, with gusts creating a biting chill.
Evenings will remain clear but cold, with temperatures dipping into the low 30s. Midweek highs are projected to be around 46 degrees, providing a stark contrast to the current wind-chill effects.
As the week progresses, a new weather system is expected to move in, potentially bringing rain from Friday into Saturday. The 60% chance of rain on Friday is likely to taper off to 50% by the evening. Saturday may see some showers, with a 40% chance of rain as partly sunny skies attempt to break through.
Stay tuned for updates as Boston navigates these challenging weather conditions. Residents are encouraged to check local forecasts and prepare for the blustery conditions today.
