Boston locals can breathe a sigh of relief as the dreary weather makes way for sunshine and warmer temperatures this week. According to the National Weather Service, the city's forecast starts with patchy morning fog, giving way to a partly sunny sky and a high near 83 degrees – a momentary respite as summer seems to knock on the door with the force of a southwest wind.
Come nightfall, Bostonians can enjoy mostly clear skies with a pleasant low around 60, though the west wind might just be brisk enough to remind us that summer's settled warmth isn't fully upon us yet, as it shifts from 6 to 9 mph, the city's residents can look forward to a mix of sun and clouds with the mercury dipping into the high 50s by tomorrow night with a 40% chance of light showers making an appearance.
The mild inconvenience of occasional showers continues through Thursday, raising the probability of precipitation to 50%, while a northeast wind brings cooler air, the high is expected to hover only near the 67-degree mark, and a mostly cloudy outlook looms, according to the National Weather Service.
However, as the week progresses, so too does the climb back to more ideal temperatures. Friday promises a return to mostly sunny skies and a higher high near 71, with a continuing trend through the weekend bringing us closer to that quintessential summer feel. This sentiment is echoed by a report on NBC Boston, which foresees "summerlike warmth" and "the lowest humidity of this stretch," giving the city's dwellers a taste of the season to come.
Looking ahead, the weekend shapes up as the prize, with sunny skies and highs reaching 74 on Saturday and creeping up to 77 by Sunday. Coastal areas can expect a breeze to keep things cool, but the overall outlook calls for drying out and heating up to near 80 by Monday, wrapped up with mild winds easing their way from northwest to east in the afternoon, promising some fine days ahead that, while not scorched by the heat, certainly hint at the sun-drenched days of summer just around the corner.
