Boston residents looking to kick off their weekend with outdoor activities will need to keep their rain gear at hand as rainy weather dominates today's forecast. According to the NBC Boston forecast, the day began with expectations of warm temperatures and only brief morning showers. However, a persisting front means that rain will continue into the early afternoon, potentially disrupting evening plans with the arrival of more showers later in the day.

In an effort to salvage what remains of the day, Bostonians might catch a few dry hours this afternoon, before the late showers expected to roll in. While the rain won't be a torrential downpour, its steady presence makes it somewhat untimely. The National Weather Service forecasts a 90% chance of precipitation, with temperatures peaking near 61 degrees, amidst a light west southwest wind.

Looking forward to Sunday, the skies promise to clear up. Despite the sun's return, next week's weather doesn't appear too warm. "Tomorrow dawns much brighter. We’ll hold the Sun throughout the day, but with a colder airmass aloft, the temperatures won’t get too warm," as reported by NBC Boston. It is expected that temperatures will hover in the upper 50s, with brisk winds making conditions feel cooler for anyone outdoors.

When the new week arrives, the forecast is decidedly sunny but not without its chill. Boston will see a slide in temperatures Monday and Tuesday, stemming from a burst of cool northern air moving in. There's even the possibility of frost on Tuesday morning as conditions become ripe for radiational cooling, and breezes die down. It's clear there’s no summer warmth in our immediate future, with more showers anticipated by Wednesday and yet another cooler air mass to follow, as described by the local weather update.

By the time we reach the midweek mark, Bostonians will likely require their umbrellas once more, with the National Weather Service predicting a strong likelihood of showers both during the day and into Wednesday night. The rest of the week proceeds with fluctuating periods of sun and clouds, and temperatures ranging from the mids to high 50s, allowing for a gradual clearing as Friday approaches.
