Boston, MA – Massachusetts residents will need to bundle up as cold temperatures and biting winds persist through today. With highs in the low 20s and wind chills plunging as low as -2 degrees today, exposure risks remain high. Sunny skies offer little relief, as northwest winds make the air feel significantly colder.
According to the National Weather Service, temperatures today will reach a high of 21°F, but wind chill values will stay in the single digits. Overnight, expect lows around 14°F with lighter winds from the southwest at 3-5 mph. Thursday’s forecast predicts slightly warmer conditions with a high of 30°F under mostly cloudy skies, while Thursday night temperatures dip to 15°F.
By Friday, conditions improve slightly with a sunny high of 30°F and calmer winds. The weekend offers more mild weather: highs near 29°F Saturday and 37°F Sunday, both under clear skies. However, brisk southwest winds may make outdoor activities feel colder.
Drivers should remain vigilant for icy patches on roads, especially during early mornings when temperatures are lowest. Commuters using major roadways like I-90 and Route 128 should allow extra time for travel.
Stay informed by regularly checking local forecasts and limiting time outdoors during the coldest parts of the day. Wear layers and cover exposed skin to prevent frostbite risks.
