Boston’s Winter Chill: When the Snow Will Fade
City Winter Weather Update
The city remains wrapped in a quiet cold that will linger until the end of the week.
Temperatures are holding steady in the 40s, with a mild rise expected over Friday and Saturday. These slight warm spells will help the snow start to melt, but big piles in shaded spots will need more time and stronger heat to disappear.
- Average high: 41 °F
- Current snowfall: ~61 inches this season, more than twice last year’s total
- Forecast outlook: No rule out additional snowfall before the snow finally melts
A cold front is set to move in early Sunday morning, bringing brief snow showers that could leave a thin coating or up to 3 inches in some places. The forecast will soon specify which neighborhoods are likely to see little or no snow and where the 3 inches might fall. Once the front passes, a surge of Arctic air will settle in for the coming week.
- Sunday highs: remain in the 30s
- Monday temperatures: could drop to low‑mid 20s; overnight lows may fall into single digits, making Monday feel noticeably colder than Saturday
- Tuesday: climate will shift back toward normal ranges
The weather pattern is expected to stay active through next week, with Tuesday and Wednesday offering chances for both rain and snow. Residents should keep an eye on the daily updates to prepare for any sudden changes.
