The Boston area is expected to kick off the next week with a period of sunny weather and chilly winds, according to forecasts from the National Weather Service.

“We’re heading into a overall very quiet week for southern New England,” said NWS meteorologist Bryce Williams. “We’re looking at dry weather for the majority of the week. Our next chance of a precipitation isn’t going to be until around Friday, when we have our next frontal system moving through. So between now and then, we’ll just have dry days, some of them are going to be pretty gusty, especially (Monday).”

Monday is forecast to see a high in the low 40s and mostly sunny skies, NWS shows. A strong west wind will likely blow throughout the day, with gusts up to 30 mph.
