Residents in Boston can expect a cloudy start to their Sunday with a slight chance of showers before midday, as temperatures linger in the cool mid-50s. The weather is expected to clear up gradually throughout the day, leading into a warmer, sunnier workweek ahead. A northeast wind may bring gusts as high as 20 mph, keeping the daytime high near 58 degrees, reports the National Weather Service.
The damp and overcast conditions which marked the weekend are set to part, giving way to clearer skies overnight, although some patchy fog may linger after 3am, with temperatures dropping to around 50 degrees, the National Weather Service predicts. Moving into Monday, Bostonians should brace for a slow shift with cloudy conditions prevailing through mid-morning before a gradual clearing emerges yielding a high near 64; the fog may take its time to disperse around Boston or the Cape overnight, temps plummeting down to the 40s creating pockets of fog across the area.
According to NBC Boston, a sea breeze will cap Monday's coastal highs in the mid 60s, while further inland areas might experience temperatures reaching the 70s. The coming days will herald the onset of summer-like warmth, with the mercury climbing even at the coast to the low to mid 80s from Tuesday through Thursday, all under sunny skies. Inland spots could see the temperature gauge hitting 90, all the while enjoying low humidity levels.
The warming trend continues unabated midweek with Wednesday expected to bask in sunny skies and a high near 89; urban heat-lovers will rejoice as the coast has its first brush with potential record temperatures for the year, this very heat may prove too intense for some, as not all have acclimated to these summer-like conditions just yet, but certainly, for those inclined, the coastline beckons for leisure under clear skies. However, the threat of thunderstorms surfaces on Thursday with a 30% chance of precipitation and possible severe storms, a situation hinging on the timing of a cold front moving through, a detail yet to be cemented in the forecaster's predictions.
Heading into the weekend, Boston can anticipate a cooler but still pleasant weather with mostly sunny days, nighttime lows hovering around the mid-50s and daytime temperatures in the comfortable mid-70s, wrapping up a notably temperate period just ahead of Memorial Day festivities.
