Showers on the Way to Boston: What to Expect This Week
Hey there, Boston! Get ready to grab your umbrellas because a rainy weather pattern is set to sweep through the city starting this Sunday night. Rain is predicted to make its presence known and will likely stick around for most of Monday, so it’s time to prepare for some wet days ahead.
Here Comes the Rain
The National Weather Service is keeping close tabs on this developing situation, forecasting that the rain will start overnight on Sunday and continue through much of Monday. Our trusty meteorologists indicate that this rainy spell is expected to taper off late Monday night, leading to some much-need dryer weather for the rest of the week.
Once we shake off the Monday blues, the sun will shine brightly on Boston, giving residents a wonderful midweek break from those pesky rain showers. From Tuesday through Thursday, you can look forward to a mix of clouds and sun and a little warmer temperatures in the 50s, which is a slight drop from the low 60s we experienced over the weekend.
A Peek at the Week Ahead
On Monday, temperatures will peak around 59 degrees, making it feel fairly mild despite the rain. But don’t get too cozy; by Tuesday, the wind coming off the water will send high temperatures down to the low 50s. Mid-week could see a little rise back into the high 50s by Thursday, perfect for getting outside and enjoying the spring air, before temperatures take a drop again, falling into the upper 40s by Friday.
As for that rainfall, keep your eyes peeled! Some areas might experience precipitation amounts that could exceed 2 inches on Monday. This is good news for the region, which has been grappling with moderate drought conditions lately. The upcoming storms are anticipated to help alleviate some of that dryness, allowing our thirsty plants and gardens to soak up some much-needed moisture.
St. Patrick’s Day Parade Forecast
For those of you gearing up to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day, Sunday is shaping up to be mostly pleasant! Although we may start the day with a bit of fog and mist, the clouds should clear by noon, revealing warmer temperatures reaching into the mid-60s. This will give folks a chance to enjoy the parade in South Boston before the rain rolls in later that evening. Just keep those umbrellas at the ready, as scattered showers may pop up late Sunday morning into the afternoon.
Winds and Whimsical Weather
Don’t forget, Boston, the winds are also expected to show off a bit on Sunday! They could gust up to 35 mph ahead of the incoming cold front, adding a little zest to the festive atmosphere. With all this weather activity, it’s a great time to get out, soak in the festivities and enjoy the beautiful city.
What’s Next?
As we look towards the end of the week, another round of rain is predicted late Thursday into Friday. It seems like we might be in for a mixed bag of weather as we transition into spring. Whether you’re planning to head to the parade or just taking a stroll in the park, be sure to check back for the latest updates on the weather!
So grab your raincoat, kick back, and enjoy Boston’s lovely and ever-changing weather this week. Spring is just around the corner!
