Wakefield is starting the week on a cold note, but a steady warm-up is firmly in place. This Monday, conditions remain dry and cold, with afternoon highs ranging from 31 to 35 degrees. Morning lows dip into the low to mid-20s, making for a frigid start to the day. Winds are calmer than recent days, helping limit additional wind chill despite the cold air.
By Tuesday, temperatures rebound noticeably under sunny skies. Highs are expected to reach 39 to 43 degrees across northern areas, while southern locations warm into the 44 to 48 degree range. Morning lows remain chilly, generally 25 to 30 degrees, but the overall feel will be less harsh than Monday as daytime warmth improves.
The most significant change arrives Wednesday, when Wakefield transitions into a much milder pattern. Increasing cloud cover accompanies a surge of warmer air, pushing afternoon highs into the 50 to 55 degree range. Overnight lows also moderate, settling between 30 and 35 degrees, a clear signal that the early-week cold is loosening its grip.
This warming trend follows a frigid start to the week and sets the stage for more seasonable conditions moving forward. While no precipitation is highlighted in the early-week outlook, increasing clouds Wednesday may signal upcoming weather changes later in the week.
For residents, Monday is the coldest hurdle to clear. Dressing in layers is still essential early, but by midweek, outdoor activities will become far more comfortable. After days of winter-like chill, the return of 50-degree temperatures will feel like a welcome break across the Wakefield area.
