Bostonians hoping for summer-like warmth will have to wait a bit longer as the city's weather continues to cling to cooler, cloudier skies. The National Weather Service is forecasting a slight chance of showers today, with highs reaching a comfortable 71 degrees. As the day progresses, a shift towards the southeast and an uptick in the breeze could bring about a 20% chance of precipitation.
As night falls, while the Boston Red Sox fans are cheering at Fenway, skies will have a 40% chance of showers and potential thunderstorms, with patchy fog rolling in after 3 AM. The low is anticipated to hover around 56 degrees, as reported by the National Weather Service. Shifting winds from the south to a light variable direction and possible thunderstorm downpours could accumulate more than the minimal predicted tenth of an inch.
Tomorrow won't be much different from today, with a 50% chance of rain, according to forecasters. The mercury will struggle to breach the mid-60s, while an east wind blows in at 6 to 10 mph. Rainfall might total up to a quarter-inch. The skies will begin to clear slightly at night, although the risk of precipitation will linger at 30%.
Moving into Friday, NBC Boston suggests we might witness a mild reprieve. With temperatures expected to potentially nudge the 70-degree mark away from the coast—thanks to a northeast wind of 9 to 11 mph—the outlook seems brighter. But along the shoreline, the persistent onshore winds promise to keep any semblance of true warmth at bay.
The weekend holds a steady course, maintaining cool and cloudy conditions without crossing into outright dismal territory. Highs are set to hang near 61 degrees on Saturday without the sun forecasting to break through the stubborn coastal clouds. The continuation of east and northeast winds spells out a story of a consistent climate for the city's dwellers.
Sunday upholds the trend with a 30% chance of showers in the afternoon and a high sneaking close to 60. The easterly winds, resolute in their march, show no sign of relenting. Monday shows some sun but refuses to let go of the clouds entirely, while on Tuesday, Boston might get a taste of warmer air as the high reaches for 68, granting a temporary respite from the unyielding coastal chill that has been characterizing the mid-May days, as per reports from NBC Boston.
