The evening, however, might not be as clear, with a slight chance of showers after 2 a.m., the skies turning mostly cloudy, and the temperature dropping to around 60. As reported by NBC Boston, inland areas were hotter today, reaching the 80s – but come Sunday, the city could see some thunderstorms in the afternoon, though they are not expected to be widespread.
