Boston's Weather: A Chilly Start, Then Warm-Up

Boston is in for a cold start to the week, with temperatures dropping and wind chills making it feel even colder. The National Weather Service predicts that the coldest part of the season so far is coming, with gusts that could reach up to 34 mph. This means that the wind chill could drop to -1 degrees, making it feel freezing outside. People in Boston are advised to be careful when going outside. Experts suggest wearing layers to stay warm and to limit time spent outdoors. The good news is that the winds are expected to die down by the afternoon, which might make the day feel a bit better. Across Massachusetts, snow is expected to clear out before Monday morning, but some areas might see a few more inches overnight. The rest of the week is looking up, with temperatures slowly rising. Tuesday is expected to be sunny with highs in the low 30s, and by Wednesday, temperatures could reach the mid-40s. By Thursday and Friday, temperatures are expected to be even warmer, with widespread 40s and even some 50s in Southeast Massachusetts. However, the warmer weather might bring some rain. Skies are forecast to turn partly sunny on Thursday, with a chance of showers at night. More showers are likely over the weekend, with temperatures staying above freezing and gusty winds continuing.
