Bostonians can bid adieu to sweater weather as the city braces for a summer teaser this week with temperatures expected to reach the high 80s, and possibly even the low 90s in some areas, raising the mercury well above typical May averages. According to a 7-day weather forecast, the warm-up kicks off on Tuesday following a cloudy start on Monday.
With a series of sunny days ahead, the coastal breeze will usher in cooler temperatures around 60 degrees today, while the rest of the region gets an early taste of summer with highs reaching into the 70s. By tomorrow, locals should expect temps to soar through the 80s, as a southwest wind—a seldom visitor in recent months, is set to aid the upward climb. While Wednesday will likely be the week's scorcher with potential 90s on the thermometer, a touch of humidity, will make for a sticky affair.
The weather pattern extends beyond the workweek with Thursday's forecast predicting another mostly sunny day with highs in the 80s, although it may be partially overshadowed by a chance of showers and thunderstorms come nighttime. As mentioned by NBC Boston, there isn't only sunshine and blue skies ahead. A cool front is due to swing in, bringing scattered showers by Thursday afternoon.
The weekend takes a turn towards the milder side, with clear nights and comfortably sunny days, culminating in partly sunny skies on Sunday. However, as the Memorial Day approaches, shower threats loom as a weak weather system nears. With the festivities ahead, and many plans hanging in the balance, the forecast might be a crucial factor for outdoor activities and backyard barbecues.
