The week ahead in Boston is shaping up with varied weather conditions, including the daunting prospect of possible tornadoes today in New England. According to the National Weather Service, today's forecast begins with a chance of showers and thunderstorms before 11 AM and a slight probability of showers post 5 PM, the skies potentially clearing up after a foggy morning, heading to a high near 90.
The weather situation intensifies as NBC Boston reports a hot and humid Sunday with severe thunderstorms expected northwest of I-95 in the afternoon, the primary concern lies with strong wind gusts that could lead to damage and heavy rain threatening flash floods particularly in urban areas, the heat is not retreating either, with indices reaching the mid to upper 90s creating a breeding ground for severe thunderstorms which could last from 1 PM into the late night , as per NBC Boston.
Transient relief seems to be arriving Monday through Saturday as the region is set for a weather respite. A mostly sunny Monday with a high near 86 is forecasted, as well as a dry Tuesday with high temperatures but more bearable humidity, temporarily sweeping away the stifling wet blanket that has been cast over the city.
However, residents should keep their umbrellas at arm's length as Wednesday beckons with another round of showers and thunderstorms, with the highest near a scorching 92 degrees, humidity is an uninvited guest that refuses to part as quickly as we'd like, leading into a possibly wet Thursday, though by week's end, it seems Bostonians can expect dry and less humid conditions to return for a more comfortable end to the hectic week.
