Boston, MA – Gusty winds and freezing temperatures are gripping Massachusetts this week, with sustained winds of 30 mph and gusts up to 40 mph forecasted through Thursday. Commuters along I-90 and coastal areas should prepare for challenging conditions.
According to the National Weather Service (NWS), wind gusts on Wednesday will peak at 37 mph in the Boston area, with similar conditions persisting into Thursday. High temperatures will struggle to exceed the mid-20s, while overnight lows dip into the teens. Wind chills will make it feel as cold as -10°F during the early mornings.
Residents are urged to secure loose outdoor items, check on vulnerable neighbors, and limit outdoor activities to prevent frostbite. Drivers should proceed with caution, especially on bridges and open roadways, where high winds could affect vehicle stability.
Looking ahead, Thursday’s conditions are expected to improve slightly, with lighter winds of 15-20 mph and sunny skies. By Friday, temperatures will climb to near 38°F under clear skies, offering some relief from the chill. However, another cold front over the weekend will bring temperatures back down, with highs near 36°F on Saturday and a chance of light snow late Saturday night.
