Bostonians can stash away those umbrellas for a few more days, as the city continues to enjoy sun-drenched skies and a break from the April showers that often mark the season. The National Weather Service predicts another glorious day with a high near 68 degrees and a moderate breeze gusting to 21 mph, but don't get too used to the warmth because there's a dip in the mercury on the horizon.
As the week progresses, cooling winds will lower highs to the mid-50s. Tomorrow, a sea breeze will cool coastal areas, reminding us that summer hasn't fully settled in. The skies will become increasingly overcast, possibly leading to a few light showers toward the weekend. However, a stretch of calm weather will continue. According to NBC Boston, "the determined batch of dry air" will prevent significant rainfall, marking a sharp contrast to recent wetter weeks.
Nightfall in the city brings a slight chill with temperatures hovering in the low 40s throughout the week. However, a light jacket should suffice. Evenings will stay mostly clear until Friday when clouds gather and chances for showers increase, hinting at a potentially wet weekend. Despite the chance of rain, any significant downpour seems unlikely.
As we look to the weekend, the possibility of showers returns on Saturday, but the sun is expected to peek through the clouds, lifting spirits as temperatures could climb back into the low 60s. By Sunday, skies will likely clear mostly, offering a respite and a high of 59 degrees to end the weekend. However, watch out for the occasional cloudy patch at night. This week promises more dry spells than downpours, a welcome change for city dwellers accustomed to dancing with umbrellas and rain boots.
