Good morning, Boston! If you stepped outside today, you were probably greeted by a frosty start—temperatures dropped to a brisk 28°F (-2°C), making it feel more like mid-winter than spring. But don’t worry, the sun’s out, and we’re in for a bit of a sunny respite. While the chill might still be hanging around, the clear skies today will bring some much-needed brightness to the city.
Expect a high of 45°F (7°C) today, so while it’s not exactly beach weather, it’s at least a break from the cold we’ve been experiencing. If you’re planning to spend any time outside, you’ll want to bundle up a bit, but with that sunshine, it should feel more manageable. The morning frost will give way to some pretty blue skies, which will hopefully make the chilly air a little easier to handle.
Here’s What’s Coming Up:
-
Thursday, April 10: The sunshine we’re seeing today will be a little more fleeting tomorrow. Expect some clouds to roll in during the day, so it’s going to be a bit of a mix—sunshine in the morning, overcast in the afternoon. Temperatures will stay on the cooler side with highs around 48°F (9°C) and lows dipping to 40°F (4°C). It’s a great day to layer up—throw on a light jacket in the morning, and maybe something a little warmer in the afternoon if it starts to feel chilly.
-
Friday, April 11: The clouds will continue to stick around on Friday. It’s going to feel pretty gray, with temperatures staying around 46°F (8°C) during the day, and lows near 41°F (5°C). While it won’t be super cold, it’ll still feel a little dreary, so make sure you’ve got that jacket and maybe an umbrella just in case. A good day to stay cozy indoors if you don’t have anything pressing to do outside.
-
Saturday, April 12: If you have weekend plans, be ready for more clouds and light rain. It won’t be a washout, but you might want to carry an umbrella if you’re heading out. Highs will be near 44°F (7°C), and the low will sit around 41°F (5°C), so the chill will hang in the air. Definitely a day for a sweater, a coat, and those rainy-day vibes.
-
Sunday, April 13: Looks like Sunday could bring some morning rain and drizzle, followed by scattered showers throughout the day. It’s going to be a bit soggy, so if you’ve got outdoor plans, make sure you’re prepared with a rain jacket and waterproof shoes. Highs will stay in the mid-40s (47°F or 8°C), and lows will be around 43°F (6°C). A perfect excuse to treat yourself to a cozy indoor activity if the rain gets too much.
-
Monday, April 14: Here’s the good news! Monday will bring a little warmth back into the picture, with highs reaching around 54°F (12°C). While it’s not going to feel like summer, it will be a nice break from the cooler days we’ve been having. Expect some cloud cover, but also more sunshine peeking through. Lows will be around 47°F (8°C), so you can leave the heavy winter jacket behind and enjoy a bit of spring air.
-
Tuesday, April 15: Tuesday will feel like a full-on spring day, with highs of 66°F (19°C) and plenty of sunshine breaking through after a cloudy start. It’s the kind of day that might just convince you to pack away the winter gear for good. Lows will stay around 45°F (7°C), but the overall feel will be much warmer. Finally, a day to enjoy the sunshine and get outside without worrying about the chill!
What’s the Big Picture?
This week is definitely a mix of chilly, cloudy days and some sunshine that will help brighten things up. It might feel a bit like we’re still stuck in the “not quite spring yet” phase, but as we head into next week, temperatures will gradually warm up and those spring-like days will finally start to settle in.
So, while today and tomorrow might feel a bit colder than you’d like, hang tight—warmer days are on the way, and by mid-April, it’ll start to feel more like the spring we’ve all been waiting for.
Wrapping It Up:
Today’s sunny skies might not be enough to shake off the chill entirely, but with the warmer weather on the horizon, we’re getting closer to a true spring thaw. Whether you’re heading out for a walk or spending the day indoors, just remember to check the forecast and plan accordingly—because in New England, you never quite know when that rain or cold might surprise you!
