URGENT UPDATE: Boston is bracing for a blustery day as the National Weather Service confirms wind gusts reaching up to 40 mph this afternoon. With a high temperature of only 53 degrees, residents are advised to prepare for chilly conditions and possible slippery surfaces from earlier rain and light sleet.
Authorities report that strong winds, combined with wet leaves, could create hazardous conditions, particularly in the morning hours. A brief rain shower or light snow may occur, but impacts are expected to be minimal. The forecast indicates that while the winds will remain significant today, brighter days are ahead with mostly sunny weather later this week.
Looking ahead, the rest of the week will bring calmer weather, with daytime highs in the 40s. On Monday, Bostonians can expect mostly sunny skies, but the winds will continue to be a factor. By Tuesday and Wednesday, winds will begin to decrease, leading to clearer and colder evenings with lows dipping into the low 30s.
As the week progresses, a new weather system is anticipated to affect the area. A 60% chance of rain has been predicted for Friday, which decreases to 50% by Friday evening. Saturday may see scattered showers under partly sunny skies, marking a significant shift from the dry, windy conditions earlier in the week.
Residents are encouraged to stay informed about the rapidly changing weather conditions. With potential impacts on travel and outdoor activities, sharing this information could be vital for community safety. Stay tuned for further updates.
