[330 pm Tue 2/20] Boston's high temp for today has reached 70! Since Boston's record keeping began in 1872, a max temp of 70+ has only occurred 2 other times during the month of February: 70 deg F on 2/24/1985, and 73 deg F on 2/24/2017.

For Wednesday, service forecasters are projecting record highs again for Boston and Worcester — with mostly and party sunny skies, respectively, during the day. Providence, Rhode Island, and Hartford, Connecticut, should also see records set, the service said.

Overnight Tuesday, temperatures are expected to stay around 50 across most of the Bay State.

Despite the warmth, don’t pack away your winter wears just yet, as temperatures are expected to dip starting Wednesday night.
