Boston, MA – Massachusetts residents are in for a cold start this week, with temperatures dropping below average across New England. However, a warm front is expected to bring relief by midweek. Residents are advised to prepare for chilly conditions, especially Monday morning, with lows around 36 degrees in Boston. Fire safety warnings are also in effect due to dry, windy conditions, making outdoor burning unsafe.
According to the National Weather Service, Sunday night will see mostly clear skies with temperatures plummeting to the 30s across the region. By Monday, Boston will experience sunny weather, though the high will only reach about 55 degrees, a considerable dip from the warmth anticipated later in the week. Winds will remain light, around 3 to 6 mph from the north, gradually calming by evening.
A warming trend kicks in Tuesday as southwest winds usher in milder air. Highs are expected to climb to 61 degrees in Boston under partly sunny skies, though gusts up to 23 mph may accompany the warming. By Wednesday, a peak in the warm front brings highs up to 76 degrees, offering an unusually warm November day that contrasts with the preceding chill.
The fire safety alert issued by the National Weather Service on Saturday remains in effect across much of southern New England. Residents in affected areas, including Worcester, New Bedford, and the greater Boston area, should refrain from any open flames or outdoor burning. Relative humidity is expected to stay low, from 25% to 40%, with wind gusts reaching up to 10 mph, increasing fire risk.
Looking further ahead, Thursday brings slightly cooler temperatures, with highs around 65 degrees under mostly sunny skies. By Friday, another cooldown takes effect, with daytime temperatures hovering near 60 degrees and nighttime lows dropping to 44 degrees. The weekend is expected to remain seasonably mild, though temperatures will likely drop back into the mid-50s by Saturday.
Residents are encouraged to monitor local forecasts, especially for changes in the fire safety warning, as dry conditions and wind levels may impact its duration. Anyone venturing outdoors this week should dress in layers and remain vigilant about fire precautions.
