Boston residents should brace for a continued bout of unsettled weather as the lingering nor’easter that has dominated the region for the past few days drifts slowly northeastward this weekend. While the system moves away from New England, its surrounding flow will keep conditions variable, especially on Sunday.
Morning sunshine, afternoon clouds
Early Sunday morning will see a welcome burst of sunshine across the city, offering a brief respite from the gray skies that have been a hallmark of the storm. However, by mid‑day clouds will thicken, and spotty rain showers are expected to develop across the Boston metro area. Higher elevations in the Berkshires, as well as parts of Vermont and New Hampshire, could see a few snowflakes mixed in with the rain.
Temperatures remain chilly
High temperatures will hover in the mid‑40s, feeling cooler than the numbers suggest due to the wind and cloud cover. Tonight, the sky will stay mostly cloudy, but precipitation is not anticipated. Overnight lows will dip into the 20s and 30s, so residents should keep warm layers handy.
Sunday outlook
Sunday morning will start off cold, with temperatures in the 30s. By the afternoon, highs will climb into the upper 40s, though the wind from the northwest, gusting up to 25‑30 mph, may make it feel colder at times. The day is expected to clear up, offering mostly sunny skies as the storm’s influence wanes.
Looking ahead to next week
Starting Monday, the region can look forward to a sunny stretch. Highs on Monday will be in the low 50s, and a noticeable warm‑up is forecast for the middle to later part of the week. Thursday and Friday highs are projected to reach the low‑ to mid‑60s, providing a pleasant end to the week after the nor’easter’s lingering effects.
Boston commuters and outdoor enthusiasts should plan accordingly, dressing in layers and staying aware of changing conditions throughout the day. Keep an eye on local forecasts for any updates as the system continues its slow northeastward trek.
