Temperatures in Boston are expected to peak at 25 degrees around midday, with windchills as low as 8 degrees by Sunday evening, according to the National Weather Service. But we may get near 50 degrees later in the week.
A windchill advisory is expected to remain in place until late Sunday morning, when temperatures could fall to 18 degrees below zero in Western Massachusetts. And Boston will be icy cold as well.
Organizations are preparing for the dangerously cold weather expected around Boston this weekend, vowing to provide shelter for anyone who seeks it and to help those who choose to stay outside.
