Boston, Massachusetts – A dry but blustery start to the week is greeting eastern Massachusetts Monday as cooler air and gusty winds sweep across the region, setting the stage for a more unsettled pattern later this week.
According to the National Weather Service in Boston, high temperatures today will range from the mid-30s to near 40 degrees, with west-northwest winds sustained between 10 and 20 mph. Gusts could reach 25 to 35 mph early in the day before gradually easing through the afternoon, making it feel colder than the thermometer suggests, especially along the coast and higher elevations.
Skies will trend cloudier as the day goes on, though dry conditions are expected to hold through tonight. Coastal communities from Boston to Cape Ann may see the strongest winds early, while inland areas experience slightly calmer conditions by late afternoon.
Looking ahead, the weather pattern becomes less stable by midweek. Tuesday remains relatively quiet with highs climbing into the lower to mid-40s, but by Wednesday and Thursday, periods of showers become possible as milder air briefly moves into the region. Temperatures during that time may rise into the 40s and even approach 50 in spots before cooler air returns.
Residents are advised to secure loose outdoor items today and dress for windy conditions. While no hazardous weather is expected immediately, forecasters note that timing and coverage of midweek showers will be refined in the coming days, and additional updates are expected as the pattern evolves.
