BOSTON, MA – The air across eastern Massachusetts feels raw and restless this Veterans Day morning. Streetlights flicker over damp pavement as a cold northwest wind pushes across the harbor, carrying hints of flurries through the early dawn. It’s one of those classic November mornings in New England — the kind that feels halfway between fall and the first whisper of winter.
The National Weather Service in Boston reports that temperatures early today sit near 36°F, but brisk winds make it feel closer to the mid-20s. A few light snow flurries could pass through coastal communities during the late morning hours, though accumulation isn’t expected. Still, the combination of cold air and gusts up to 30 mph will make outdoor ceremonies and commutes feel extra brisk.
By Wednesday, the wind begins to ease and skies clear, setting up a steady midweek warm-up. Afternoon highs climb into the mid-40s, then upper 40s to near 50°F by Thursday, marking a noticeable break from the chill. Sunshine dominates through Friday, offering a good window for late-fall yard work, early Christmas prep, or travel ahead of Thanksgiving week.
Heading into the weekend, models hint at another pattern change — possibly wetter, milder weather by Sunday as Atlantic moisture approaches. No major snow signals yet, but early winter tease patterns remain possible later this month. For now, Boston stays dry, breezy, and cold today before a welcome stretch of mild, sunny days returns midweek.
