Residents in Boston are facing a week with chances of showers and isolated storms as the workweek begins under wet conditions. Rainfall, which started today, is expected to continue intermittently through early tomorrow, bringing the potential for not only passing showers but some bursts of sunshine that will nudge the temperatures into a more humid and warmer range in the 80s, according to NBC Boston.
The National Weather Service forecasts a 50% chance of precipitation today with a high near 74 degrees, despite a cloudy start, and by evening, the likelihood of showers drops to a mere 20%; Tomorrow's forecast suggests only a slight chance of showers and thunderstorms with temperatures expected to soar near 86, conditions that are expected to persist into the night with an ongoing 20% chance of precipitation.
Come Wednesday, the chance of showers and thunderstorms rises substantially to 70%, with showers likely and possibly a thunderstorm after 10 a.m. before the unsettled weather pattern brings about afternoon thunderstorms on both Thursday and Friday, with temperatures maintaining in the mid to upper 80s through the duration of the week.
Additionally, the National Weather Service has issued a High Surf Advisory in effect until 6 p.m. EDT today with anticipated large breaking waves and dangerous rip currents along the ocean beaches of eastern Massachusetts, a setting against which inexperienced swimmers should measure the risk and opt to remain out of the water avoiding these perilous conditions.
