Southern New England residents should prepare for an unseasonably chilly midweek as cold air moves through the region. With temperatures expected to run about 10 degrees below average, locals can expect blustery conditions, especially during the morning commute. The National Weather Service has issued warnings about cold temperatures lingering through Thursday.
According to the National Weather Service, Boston’s high temperatures on Wednesday will hover near 53°F, with lows dipping into the upper 30s at night. Gusty winds up to 21 mph may make conditions feel even colder, especially on elevated roadways like I-93. Motorists should exercise caution due to potential wind gusts that could affect high-profile vehicles.
Thursday’s temperatures are predicted to stay below normal, with highs near 58°F, before warming slightly by Friday, reaching 61°F. The cold air is expected to retreat by the weekend, providing relief with sunny skies and highs approaching 68°F by Saturday. However, those traveling on major roadways should remain cautious during morning hours when frost is more likely to form.
Prepare for cold mornings by dressing in layers, keeping an eye on wind advisories, and checking your car’s tire pressure before driving. Blustery winds are likely to make this week’s conditions more challenging, especially along the I-90 and I-95 corridors, where gusts can limit visibility.
