Get ready to soak up some sun today, Bostonians, but keep your umbrellas close for the end of the week. According to National Weather Service, Boston can expect a sunny Wednesday with temperatures peaking at a brisk 52 degrees and gentle northern winds. Nightfall, however, may bring a few sprinkles before giving way to a mostly cloudy evening with lows around 37 degrees.
Things will start looking up temperature-wise on Thursday, with mostly sunny skies and a high pressing near 59 degrees, but don't get too comfy. The clearer skies are set to cloud up closer to sunset, with a 30 percent chance of showers in an early forecast for Thursday night. The gentle breezes from the southeast will likely persist, according to the weather prognosticators.
In a harmony with this forecast, NBC Boston notes a temporary warmup is underway, with some areas expected to climb into the 60s on Wednesday, though coastal regions will feel milder temperatures thanks to the sea breeze. "The sun will be hindered by some advancing afternoon clouds Wednesday, but Thursday promises to be brighter—and milder," the report states, flagging a potential mid-60s high for those away from the refreshing chill of the Atlantic.
However, the relief might be short-lived. Friday brings a 60 percent chance of morning showers and a cloudy outlook with high temperatures sinking near 49 degrees. As the weekend approaches, expect a partly sunny Saturday and the possibility of more afternoon showers Sunday, which could dampen the parade plans in Southie. "The parade in Southie doesn’t appear to be washed out, but it’s still a reach attempting to pin down the exact timing of the wet weather this far out," warns NBC Boston in its local insights.
Early next week appears to offer a break from the rain, with a mostly sunny Monday and highs cresting at 51 degrees, followed by a partly cloudy night with a low of 33. For those longing for spring's unequivocal embrace, Tuesday will offer a touch of solace with mostly sunny skies and a high reaching near 46 degrees, teasing the warm days surely on the horizon.
