Bostonians brace for a weekend mixed with showers, isolated storms, and peeks of sun, according to recent weather forecasts. The National Weather Service predicts "showers before 1pm, then isolated showers after 3pm" today, with a possibility of a thunderstorm in the evening, and an overall chance of precipitation at 70%. Today's temperatures are expected to reach the high 80s, a trend continuing through the early part of next week.
Tomorrow's forecast points towards "a chance of showers and thunderstorms, mainly after 5pm," and similar patterns for tomorrow night though the risk of precipitation shoots up to 60%, indicating a higher likelihood of wet weather, added to this, the forecast suggests conditions might include patchy fog after 10pm. Sunday's climate swings to partly sunny skies, with an approximate 30% chance of morning showers and thunderstorms, and temperatures climbing near 89 degrees, as reported by The National Weather Service.
Looking toward the week ahead, Monday invites mostly sunny skies with a high near 90°F, while Tuesday introduces partly cloudy conditions with a similar temperature peak. However, "a chance of showers after 11pm" is expected on Tuesday night, extending into Wednesday and Thursday with a 40% chance of more showers and thunderstorms, as stated by The National Weather Service.
NBC Boston notes that while today will see variable conditions, it "will not be a washout though," and high temperatures will stay comfortably in the mid-80s. Moving into tomorrow, intermittent rain and possible heavy downpours are expected, though it will still be humid with temperatures reaching the low 80s. While an early shower could dampen Sunday, most of the day is slated to be dry and hot. As the heat persists early into the following week, residents can expect conditions hovering near 90 degrees both on Monday and Tuesday before rain likely returns late Tuesday and continues sporadically through midweek.
