The Great Boston Snowmageddon of... July 4th? Not Quite.
Ah, Boston. City of Champions, land of the baked beans, and... basking in the glorious heat of summer? That's right, folks, because unless Mother Nature has gone rogue and swapped the seasons, tonight's forecast is decidedly rain-centric, not snowflake spectacular.
But wait, there's more! (Because weather reports can be fickle...)
There is a slight chance of showers before 10 pm, transitioning to isolated showers after 3 am. Now, let's be honest, "slight chance" sounds more like a shy person at a party than a full-blown blizzard. We're talking a sprinkle here, a maybe-there-maybe-not drizzle there.
In other words, you can ditch the snow boots and break out the rain jacket (or, you know, that awesome championship t-shirt you've been saving).
So, how much snow REALLY are we expecting?
Zero. Zilch. Nada.
That's right, folks. Boston is predicted to get approximately the same amount of snow as a beach ball in the Sahara Desert.
Now, for those of you who yearn for a winter wonderland in July (because, hey, why not?), fear not! There's always next year. In the meantime, enjoy the fireworks, the cookouts, and the sweet, sweet summer rain.
