Massachusetts – A crisp, biting chill grips Boston this morning, with clear skies and temperatures near 28 degrees. The wind chill hovers in the lower 20s, and sidewalks remain icy in shaded spots.
Sunshine dominates today, but it does little to warm the air. Highs reach just 32 degrees. Northwest winds ease this afternoon, yet the cold lingers on brick sidewalks and overpasses. Watch for slick patches on I-93 and I-95 early.
Clouds increase tonight as temperatures fall to around 22 degrees. Washington’s Birthday turns milder, with highs near 38 under decreasing clouds. Calm winds make it feel more tolerable by afternoon.
By Tuesday, February 17, isolated flurries may fly before 11 a.m. Highs climb to 41 degrees with partial sunshine. No accumulation is expected, but brief bursts could reduce visibility.
Midweek brings a sharper change. Wednesday features mostly cloudy skies with highs near 41 and a 50% chance of rain after 1 p.m. By Wednesday night, rain likely flips to snow. Lows settle near 32 degrees, and precipitation chances rise to 80%. That rain-to-snow transition could create slushy roads after dark.
Thursday keeps a 40% chance of snow before 10 a.m., then gradual clearing with highs near 40. Any untreated surfaces could turn slick if temperatures dip again at night.
Looking into President’s Day Week, much of the nation trends 10 to 20 degrees above average. Southern states warm significantly, but New England remains closer to seasonal norms with periodic mixed precipitation threats.
