Boston is all set for a week of diverse weather conditions, starting off with a warm Sunday and winding up to a possibility of thunderstorms by the weekend, forecasters say. As per the report by National Weather Service, today will blaze with a high near 82 and mostly sunny skies, calm winds turning south around 5 mph in the afternoon later in the night a shift will bring partly cloudy skies and lowering the mercury to around 63.

The week's outlook suggests tranquility at first, with NBC Boston reporting a steady trend of mostly sunny through to Wednesday, and inland temperatures climbing to mid-80s while coastal regions are expected to remain pleasantly cooler, in the 70s it is however, by midweek that southwest winds may cause temperature bumps across the region causing an upsurge in warm air, pushing the highs up to lower 80s. Monday's highlight is a comfortable 77 with an easy switch from north to east winds in the afternoon, dropping to a cool 56 by nightfall with an easy east breeze.

Mid-week warmth continues under partly sunny Wednesday heavens hitting near 79, although clouds do gather denser towards the closing hours, setting a prelude to a potentially stormy episode. Thursday predicts a shuffle in weather patterns with the arrival of a robust system trailing from the Great Lakes as mentioned by NBC Boston, threatening a 30% chance of showers post 1 pm, escalating to a 60% likelihood of showers and possible thunderstorms overnight. Into Friday, forecasts keep a close eye on the skies with continued chances for showers and a partly sunny high nearing 79.

Wrapping up the week's forecast, Saturday presents itself with a bit of a gamble, ushering in more shower chances amidst predominantly sunny skies, the temperatures stretching to a cozy high near 78 winds staying faithful to a mild southwest flow amidst 6 to 11 mph, giving Bostonians yet another reason to carry an umbrella along with their sunglasses. As Bostonians make their weekend plans it is essential to note that while the days might offer generous sun, the evenings could potentially unfold with theatrics from the heavens.
