Bostonians, prepare for a mix of sun and showers as the weather takes us on a mild rollercoaster this week. According to the National Weather Service, today offers partly sunny skies and pleasant highs near 86 degrees, with a gentle westerly breeze. Tonight, the climes hold steady in the low 70s under a mostly cloudy sky.
Sunday's outlook is decidedly brighter, with balmy temperatures peaking near 88 degrees. However, in an otherwise picturesque weekend, southeast Massachusetts may experience, a couple of random showers overnight into early Sunday morning. This brief splash should not dampen the overall sunny disposition of the day.
Enjoy the clear skies and comfortable humidity while it lasts, because according to NBC Boston, "Another surge of sticky air arrives late Monday and carries into the end of next week." This means we're in for a more humid and potentially stormy weather pattern as the week progresses.
Starting Tuesday afternoon, the increased humidity will likely act as the catalyst for thunderstorms and occasional downpours. While these conditions aren't expected to result in washed out days, there's a heightened chance for, heavy rain in some areas that could impact outdoor activities and commutes.
With a 20% chance of precipitation Monday night inching up to a 60% likelihood by Wednesday, Boston residents should keep an eye on the sky and perhaps keep an umbrella handy. By the weekend, we're back to a blend of sun and clouds with a continued chance of showers and a consistent temperature hovering in the mid-80s.
