Snow Likely to Skip Boston this Week

Boston’s weather has calmed for the moment. No major storms loom in the near future, and no harsh cold air is expected over the weekend. Temperatures will stay around 35 to 40 degrees, with occasional clouds drifting in. A brief flurry or light snow shower might happen Saturday morning, but it won’t pile up. The city already shows signs of melting. Snow depths that once reached 12 to 18 inches are shrinking as the sun warms roads, causing flakes to slide off shoulders and medians. The next few days will see more melting, settling, and compaction.What about Monday? Current forecasts say the storm that could hit early in the day has largely moved away. Only a few snow showers might touch Boston and Worcester before noon, while the rest of Massachusetts and southern New Hampshire could see sunshine. Early next week’s temperatures will rise into the 40s, but conditions will become less predictable. A shifting front could bring cooler air and more snow or mixed precipitation by Thursday or Friday. Weather watchers will keep a close eye on the situation. Enjoy your weekend, and stay warm if you’re heading out!
