Bostonians, prepare for a hot and humid start to the week. Temperatures will be in the low 90s from Monday to Wednesday, accompanied by high humidity. This steam bath is sufficiently intense to trigger a heat advisory for southern New England and Greater Boston, according to NBC Boston. Inland areas, prepare for further discomfort, as the heat, and humidity combine forces to replicate nearly 100-degree conditions.
The relentless summer sun is likely to alternate with clouds across the city's skies today, bringing a hot day with highs in the upper 80s. Calm eastward winds will offer little relief. By nighttime, temperatures are expected to hover around a sticky 74 degrees, with a southwest breeze teasing Bostonians at just 7 mph, as stated by the National Weather Service. This tepid relief continues into tomorrow, with partially sunny periods again approaching the 90-degree mark.
Wednesday signals a shift in this sultry pattern, though the stickiness insists on an extended engagement. Residents might find themselves amidst a game of meteorological chance, as showers sporadically interrupt their daily hustle under the mostly cloudy veil, as reported by NBC Boston. The likelihood of rain amps up through the week – remnants of Beryl are angling to keep umbrellas up and picnic plans down, with a 50% chance of showers on both Wednesday night and Thursday.
The weather narrative from Thursday to Saturday reads much the same, as Beryl's hangover promises to maintain a mostly cloudy ambiance with periodic rain and thunderstorms. Amidst this fluctuating forecast, an optimistic splice of partly sunny during the day wrestles with mostly cloudy by night. While prognostications are as fickle as the breeze, some forecasts suggest Boston could be drenched with up to 3 inches of rain by week's end, pending any capricious dance steps Beryl takes post-landfall.
