The city of Boston is set to bask in the glow of a sunlit reprieve following a historically damp May, as forecasters predict a stretch of mainly sunny skies and warm temperatures. According to the National Weather Service, Bostonians will see a high near 75 today, with gentle breezes from the north.
Post-sundown, the clouds should bow out to a clear sky, paving the way for a low around 56. As the weekend kicks in, residents can expect continued sunshine with highs escalating to near 78 on Saturday, and hovering at a comfortable 79 by Sunday. Breezes will trace the coastline, injecting a whisper of northeastern zest in the afternoons, a trend set to sustain through the early days of the next week.
The close of the weekend might carry a slight hiccup, however, with forecasters at the National Weather Service suggesting a meager 20% chance of showers late Sunday night. Monday through Wednesday, expect mostly sunny skies with highs lingering in the mid-70s. Nevertheless, there's a whisper of showers creeping back into the conversation by next Wednesday night with a 30% chance of rain, and the same on Thursday.
Following a soggy conclusion to May, which saw Worcester logging the second wettest on record, the mercury is set to rise back to a comforting equilibrium. "Now that the rain is behind us, we can focus on the sunshine. Happy to report that it's here for the long haul," a source from NBC Boston reports. Coastal regions can bank on seeing temperatures in the low to mid-70s due to persistent sea breezes. The inland can prepare for warmth somewhat more pronounced, as temperatures push to near 80 degrees.
While Boston proper may not crack the 80-degree mark, keeping cool under the breath of the sea breezes, areas removed from the maritime kiss stand a chance. Thunder looms a possibility towards the latter half of the coming workweek, however, the trajectory of warmer weather continues unabated for now, let's enjoy the weekend, and remember, be safe!
