Bostonians can look forward to a capricious mix of clouds and sun to round out their week, with a weather pattern bringing in a bit of shower activity on Sunday before giving way to cooler temperatures for the start of the next week. National Weather Service forecasts show today will be mostly cloudy with highs reaching 52 degrees, but the winds will take a southerly turn, likely bringing warmer air.
As the weekend progresses, Sunday will see the bulk of the wet weather, "Showers likely, mainly before 1 pm. Cloudy, then gradually becoming mostly sunny, with a high near 58. South wind around 15 mph becoming west. Winds could gust as high as 26 mph. Chance of precipitation is 60%." according to the National Weather Service. Sunday night promises clearer skies with a low of around 38 degrees, providing some respite from the earlier gusts.
The preceding sunny Saturday is expected to be the weekend's silver lining, as per NBC Boston. Residents can bask in the sun with highs in the mid-50s, while regions beyond the sea breeze's touch might see the mercury nudge closer to 60 degrees. The forecast adds a splash of optimism for those participating in the weekend's festivities: "The parade in Soutie should be mostly dry, with just a slight chance at a passing shower."
Looking ahead to Monday, a high near 49 and mostly sunny conditions will mark the beginning of the workweek. "This system will also collaborate with the upper-level pattern to shove some colder air our way to begin the workweek," warns NBC Boston. The chilly embrace will tighten as a weak weather system crosses paths with the region mid-week, potentially bringing sub-average temperatures and a chance of snow showers on Wednesday.
While the extended forecast from Tuesday to Friday predicts highs lingering in the mid-40s and lows dipping into the low 30s, there's a silver lining as Bostonians can expect mostly dry days ahead, sans the brunt of any major storms. Friday will round out the week with partly sunny skies and a high near 47.
