URGENT UPDATE: Boston is currently grappling with intense winds expected to gust up to 40 mph today, as confirmed by the National Weather Service. Residents should brace for a blustery day with high temperatures hovering around 53 degrees, accompanied by periods of sunshine.
The winds, which began early this morning, are exacerbating already slippery conditions caused by rain and light sleet, particularly on wet leaves, according to Boston 25 News. Authorities are urging caution for anyone venturing outdoors due to the hazardous conditions.
While the city may see brief rain showers or light snow, officials report that these effects are expected to be minor. However, as the week progresses, Boston will shift to calmer weather, with highs in the 40s on most days. Monday is projected to be mostly sunny but still windy, with gusts likely diminishing by Tuesday and Wednesday.
Evenings will turn clear and cold, with nighttime lows dipping into the low 30s. Midweek temperatures will reach around 46 degrees, providing a temporary reprieve from the current chill.
Looking ahead, a new weather system is forecast to move in, potentially bringing rain from Friday into Saturday. The chance of rain is currently set at 60% on Friday, decreasing to 50% by evening. Saturday may feature scattered showers under partly sunny skies.
This shift in weather patterns marks a notable change from the dry and windy conditions experienced earlier this week. Boston residents are advised to stay tuned for further updates as the situation develops.
