Massachusetts residents, prepare for a brisk and blustery end to the holiday week. Black Friday started windy across Boston, with gusts reaching up to 20 mph. Shoppers and commuters felt the chill as temperatures hovered in the mid-40s, and the winds added an extra bite to the air. Thankfully, the weekend offers a mix of sunshine and calm, setting the stage for outdoor activities and post-Thanksgiving plans.
Saturday will feature mostly sunny skies, but temperatures will remain cold. Highs are expected to reach only 42°F, with westward winds keeping the chill in the air. Overnight lows will dip into the mid-20s, so bundle up if you’re heading out after dark. Sunday continues the sunny trend, with similar temperatures and lighter winds, providing a more comfortable day to wrap up the weekend.
However, the real story lies in the week ahead. By Monday night, forecasts suggest a potential shift toward wintry weather. A developing system could bring snow or a wintry mix starting late Monday into Tuesday morning. The timing and exact impact are still uncertain, but early indications suggest icy roads and tricky commutes could be a concern for much of the region.
Thursday brings another chance of precipitation, with snow or rain likely depending on temperatures. Public safety officials urge residents to monitor updates closely, especially as we transition into December and more frequent winter weather patterns.
Now is the time to prepare. Keep an eye on updated forecasts and ensure your vehicle is winter-ready. Whether you’re commuting or finishing holiday shopping, staying ahead of potential snow will help you avoid disruptions. Boston may be calm this weekend, but next week could bring the first real test of winter.
