After a fairly windy and cold weekend, the weather for Boston should turn sunny and warm through the days ahead, according to the National Weather Service.

NWS Meteorologist Bill Leatham told the Herald that a high pressure system will enter the region early next week, pushing away the clouds and keeping any wet weather at bay until at least the weekend.

“It’s looking pretty quiet this week. The next shot for any widespread precipitation comes real late in the week,” he said. “At least at this point, all signs are that it is going to be too warm for any snow, with the exception of the higher terrain in the interior.”

Monday is President’s Day, the official celebration of President George Washington’s Feb. 22 birthday, and it’s expected to be a fairly nice day for those who have the federal holiday off from work. Temperatures will climb to near 40 degrees, according to the weather service, with clear skies and a slight, under-15-mph breeze.

“There will be plenty of sunshine through the first half of the week,” Leatham said.

Temperatures overnight into Tuesday will drop substantially, Leatham said, falling into the upper teens before the high pressure system arrives.

On Tuesday the temperature should hover in the middle-30s, when the winds will shift from the north to the southeast. Leatham said any breeze should be mild, though gusts up to 25 mph are possible.

Some clouds are expected to roll in overnight Tuesday, when the temperature will likely fall into the low 20s.

The sky should mostly clear by Wednesday morning, when the mercury will begin a climb back toward 40 degrees. The wind will likely shift to the east by Wednesday night, according to the weather service, when the temperature could drop to under 30 degrees.

There should be more sun on Thursday, when the weather service predicts a high temperature near 43 degrees and a light southerly wind in the afternoon.

Rain could occur after midnight on Friday, and the weather service predicts there is a 40% chance of precipitation overnight.

The odds of precipitation increase through the day on Friday, climbing toward 70% by the afternoon, though it is expected to be a seasonably-warm day with temperatures over 45 degrees.

Overnight temps should slip back under freezing Friday night, when the chance of precipitation will likely fall to 50% as the wind picks up slightly.

Saturday and Sunday both appear dry and sunny as of now, with highs in the upper 30s and an under-20-mph breeze, according to the weather service.
