Bostonians can expect a mixed bag of conditions for the seven-day stretch ahead, with temperatures ranging from the high 50s to near 80 degrees, according to the National Weather Service. The forecast teases with the possibility of sunshine but keeps rain in the narrative, hinting at what could be an uncertain week for anyone trying to make outdoor plans.
The immediate outlook promises a gradual clearing for today, with temperatures reaching a pleasant high of 78 degrees and winds kicking up some energy at speeds between 8 and 14 mph, gusting to as high as 23 mph. By tonight, expect partly cloudy skies and a moderate low of around 59 degrees. However, Bostonians will need to start to keep an eye on the sky Wednesday night, as the chance of showers starts to sneak into the picture after 9pm, with overcast conditions enveloping the city.
Trouble fully ensues Thursday with a 40 percent chance of rain and mostly cloudy skies, drawing down the day's high to around 63 degrees. Much the same can be said for Thursday night. Then, Friday sees a slight respite; the NBC Boston anticipates partly sunny conditions, but the clouds are stubborn, refusing to fully vacate. With the weekend arriving, predictions include "quite a bit of cloud cover in the afternoon with the remote possibility of a passing shower."
The coastal areas remain subdued, shrouded in cooler breezes and only managing low 60s, while inland areas can to expect to inch closer to 70 degrees. It seems the city, caught between the warmth of the approaching summer and the last whispers of spring showers, is going to have to wait just a bit longer for a consistent taste of seasonal sunshine.
