BOSTON, MA — If you thought winter was on its way out, think again. Boston has been enjoying an early taste of spring, but don’t put away the winter coats just yet. A powerful cold front is about to send temperatures plunging, proving once again that March weather is anything but predictable.
From Spring to Winter Overnight
Saturday brought a rare treat for early March, with temperatures climbing into the mid-50s. It felt more like late April than the start of meteorological spring. But just as quickly as the warmth arrived, it’s about to be replaced by an icy blast.
- Sunday, March 2: A sharp drop in temperatures, with highs barely reaching the low 30s and overnight lows sinking into the teens. If you had outdoor plans, bundle up—it’s going to feel like winter again.
- Monday, March 3: Even colder, with highs struggling to hit the upper 20s. The sunshine won’t help much, as wind chills will make it feel even colder.
Midweek Rebound: A Little Relief
The cold won’t last forever. By Tuesday, temperatures will start to climb again, reaching the mid-40s. Wednesday could even hit the low 50s, but with that warm-up comes the return of rain and cloudy skies.
