We melted a few of our cussed snow and ice yesterday, with extra melting occurring at present. In reality, we stayed above freezing in a single day so the soften continued across the clock. You’ll discover extra melting within the solar than the shade, however hey we have now to start out someplace! You’ll discover much more clouds at present with solely peeks of sunshine, but it surely received’t decelerate our temperature climb as we method 50°.

And we’re due for a 50° day! We haven’t seen that since 2024 — December thirty first was the final time we hit 50° in Boston. On common, after turning the web page into a brand new 12 months, we hit that mark fairly rapidly — throughout the first few weeks. Our common first 50° day in Boston is January twelfth, we’re a few month and a half overdue.

Tomorrow is one other melting day and I believe tomorrow is the decide of the week. Temperatures could also be a level or two colder than at present however the solar can be out in full power on Wednesday. There can be a slight breeze, however that breeze doesn’t put a chew within the air when it’s 50° the identical method it does when it’s 30°.

The added clouds we have now at present are with a storm system that’s passing to our north. It might give us a spot bathe this night however most of us will keep dry.

One of the best likelihood to see a number of drops can be north of the Mass Pike — nearer to the storm in northern New England.

For just some temporary hours early Thursday morning, it might begin as a number of moist snowflakes, but it surely rapidly goes over to rain showers and that’s the way it stays via a lot of the day. So we’ll simply promote it as rain showers on Thursday.

Benefit from the delicate air whereas it’s right here, on the again aspect of these Thursday rain showers, the wind ramps up once more on Friday. We’ll see wind gusts to 30 mph that are the winds of change and can ship our temperatures again to the 30s and 40s for the weekend and early subsequent week.
