Boston weather today is mostly sunny with a high near 60°F, but don’t let that fool you—we’ve got some serious wind to deal with this afternoon.
A cold front pushed through Southern New England around midday, and it’s bringing northwest winds of 6 to 13 mph with gusts reaching up to 25 to 30 mph this afternoon. The National Weather Service forecasters note this is a classic spring pattern: rapid clearing, full sun, and bone-dry air. Dewpoints are plummeting into the 20s, so if you’ve got outdoor furniture or anything loose on your deck, now’s the time to secure it with a bungee cord assortment or check that your pop-up canopy tent with weights is anchored down tight.
This is excellent weather for the Red Sox vs. Yankees game at Fenway Park tonight—clear skies, no rain, and that northwest wind will keep fly balls from carrying too far. If you’re heading to the ballpark, grab Official team gear on Fanatics and dress in layers. The wind will make it feel colder than 60°F once the sun drops.
The Bruins also host Buffalo in their First Round playoff game tonight at TD Garden—an indoor game, so you won’t feel the wind, but tailgating beforehand will be breezy. Grab Find tickets on StubHub if you’re still looking, and bring a windbreaker.
For outdoor activities, today’s actually perfect for golf—the dry air and gusty conditions mean excellent playing conditions at courses around the metro. Check out our Adidas Samba Spikeless Golf Shoes Just $42 With Coupon if you need new kicks for the course.
Protect your lips from the dry wind with lip balm SPF moisturizing—that combination of low humidity and wind gusts can really dry you out. If you’re planning to grill tonight, the conditions are ideal. A portable propane grill will work great, and the wind will help with smoke dispersal, though watch your flames carefully in these gusty conditions.
Tonight stays mostly clear with lows around 40°F and lighter winds (3 to 10 mph). It’ll be chilly, so grab a light jacket if you’re heading out.
Friday shapes up cooler—mostly sunny with a high near 54°F and calm north winds around 7 mph. Perfect for a walk along the Harborwalk or through Boston Common. Saturday turns partly sunny with a high near 51°F and light east winds—still dry, still pleasant. Dry weather holds through the weekend and into early next week, a real gift after our recent cool snap.
For tonight’s dinner, consider a hearty pasta or stir-fry that pairs well with spring vegetables. You can order groceries on Amazon and have everything delivered—grab some fresh vegetables and your favorite pasta sauce to make this easy weeknight meal.
Looking ahead: Enjoy this dry streak while it lasts. Next week stays quiet, so get outside this weekend!
