Boston residents can look forward to a mixed bag of weather this upcoming week with temperatures ranging from the high 70s to the upper 80s. Today's forecast promises mostly sunny skies with a peak temperature near 88 degrees, with comfortable conditions expected to continue into the night as temperatures drop to around 67, as reported by the National Weather Service.
The workweek starts with partly sunny skies and a high around 83 degrees on Monday, Northeast wind 5 to 8 mph turning east in the afternoon though, as the week progresses, the chance of showers and thunderstorms increases especially from Tuesday through Thursday. According to NBC Boston, this period is slated to be wet and unsettled, with the potential for periods of heavy rainfall and embedded thunderstorms posing a risk of flash flooding especially on Wednesday afternoon when such events might culminate.
The likelihood of precipitation hovers between 30% to 50% during midweek as the area experiences mostly cloudy conditions and chances of showers both during the day and at night. Tuesday's weather includes a chance of showers, with thunderstorms also possible after 1 pm, and an expected high near 78 degrees. Similar conditions persist on Wednesday with a 30% chance of showers after noon and on Thursday, showers maintain a presence, raising the bar for potential precipitation to 40% during the day and 50% at night.
Relief from the spotty showers arrives nearing the weekend when a cold front rolls in on Friday to clear the way for sunny skies and temperatures soaring near 87 degrees on Saturday, which marks a return to more typical summer conditions as stated by NBC Boston. Despite the initial forecasts of a hot and dry weekend ahead residents should consider the fickle nature of New England weather, always prepared for the unexpected.
