Bostonians are looking forward to a notably warm weekend as clear skies dominate today's forecast. Turning clearer through the morning, the city can expect the mercury to reach a comfortable high near 77 degrees, accompanied by a north wind traveling 11 to 13 mph, according to the National Weather Service. Tonight, the clear spell continues with the low at a pleasant 55 degrees.

As the weekend proceeds, a sunny Sunday greets the city with a high near 73, perfect for outdoor Father's Day activities. Some suburbs may get a bit nippy, setting records for the time of year, with temperature forecasts dipping into the mid and upper 40s by dawn, an anomaly given the incoming heat wave detailed by NBC Boston.

The beginning of the workweek will start with partly sunny skies and highs soaring to the low 80s on Monday. To add to this, gusts might reach up to 21 mph, so it might be a good idea to hold onto your hats. As Bostonians take to their evening routines, they can enjoy a partly cloudy night with readings around 66 degrees.

Moving into Tuesday, the warm-up takes a significant jump — with the daytime high nearing 89 degrees and the city basking under a mostly sunny sky. However, this is just the herald of hotter days to come, as the weather patterns are pushing the scales towards nearly three standard deviations above the norm. "This dome of warmth is nearly three standard deviations from normal for this time of year," NBC Boston reports.

The peak of the sweltering conditions is forecasted for "Juneteenth", with temperatures potentially reaching a high near 95 degrees. A trend of mostly sunny days continues through the end of the workweek, culminating in record-challenging highs on Wednesday and Thursday that could push the thermometers to 96 and 98 degrees, ready to tie or possibly break Boston's longstanding temperature records.
