If you were hoping this weekend would be all cherry blossoms and patio weather, sorry to break it to you—Mother Nature has other plans. Boston’s weekend forecast is looking cold, soggy, windy, and frankly? Kind of a mess. We’re talking rain, maybe even some snow (yep, still), and just enough wind to make umbrellas feel useless.
Friday: The Slushy Commute Special
Friday kicks things off with a lovely little mash-up of wet snow and cold rain, mostly in the morning. Roads could be slick during the early commute—so give yourself time and maybe opt for boots instead of anything white or suede.
-
High: 44°F
-
Low: 37°F
-
Vibe: Dreary with a side of wet socks
It’ll turn to just rain later in the day, but the air will stay damp and cold, and the clouds? Yeah, they’re not going anywhere.
Saturday: Rain, Wind, and “Why Did I Leave the House?”
Saturday’s forecast can be summed up in one word: yikes. It’s going to be raw—windy, wet, and just cold enough to make you second-guess every plan that involves going outside.
-
High: 40°F
-
Low: 38°F
-
Bonus Feature: Wind that makes 40 feel like 30
There’s a chance of more sleet or slushy snow early in the morning before it all shifts to cold drizzle. Basically, the kind of day made for canceling things, wearing fuzzy socks, and binge-watching something comforting.
Sunday: Slightly Better… But Not By Much
Sunday brings a tiny glimmer of improvement—but don’t get too excited. We’ll see a little bump in temps and slightly lighter rain, especially in the afternoon, but the skies will still be gray and the air still damp.
-
High: 47°F
-
Low: 38°F
-
Mood: “Might go outside for 10 minutes… then come right back in.”
Coming Up: There’s Light at the End of This Drizzly Tunnel
Here’s the good news—next week looks way better.
-
Monday: Cloudy but much warmer—high around 67°F.
-
Tuesday and beyond: Hello, actual spring. Temps in the 60s, peeks of sun, and fewer reasons to complain about the weather (well, fewer valid ones).
This weekend is classic Boston April: a little winter, a lot of gray, and just enough chaos to keep you guessing.
So pull out the rain boots, cancel the picnic, and settle in. Spring is coming—but this weekend? It’s still hiding under a soggy sweatshirt.
