Bostonians can expect a warm and sunny day today, with temperatures rising to a high near 89 degrees and a northwest wind blowing at 7 to 9 mph. As the evening approaches, the city will experience partly cloudy skies and a low around 71 degrees, accompanied by a consistent southwest wind, according to the National Weather Service. But the winds are changing, as tomorrow will bring a shift with the potential for thunderstorms primarily in the afternoon and a sweltering high near 92 degrees, alongside a southwest wind of 13 to 15 mph.
Looking into Wednesday night and heading into Thursday, the chance of precipitation ramps up to 80%, with expected showers and a possible thunderstorm after 9 pm, resulting in new rainfall amounts between a quarter and half an inch. According to NBC Boston, "Any storms will weaken Wednesday night, but there still could be some rumbles given the amount of lingering heat."
The weather forecast suggests improvements by Thursday. Showers are likely, mainly before 8 am, giving way to a partly sunny day with a high near 84 degrees and a modest west wind around 9 mph. By evening, skies will clear considerably, leading to a mostly clear night with temperatures dipping to around 60 degrees.
As we leap into the weekend, Friday is set to be sunny with a pleasant high near 78 degrees. Subsequent evenings will be cooler and partly cloudy with a mild low around 61 degrees. While Saturday will see partly sunny skies and a high near 82, there's a 50% chance for showers come Saturday night. The week starts anew on Sunday with showers likely and a high ascent near 87 degrees, and as the wind turns, so does the cyclical nature of this weather pattern, no prolonged extreme in sight – "Our pattern over the next 10 days can be summed up with up and down temperatures and humidity," as reported by NBC Boston.
