Bostonians can expect a mostly sunny day today with highs reaching up to 84 degrees, and calm winds turning eastward in the afternoon, according to the National Weather Service. The evening should remain mostly clear with a slight southeast breeze, as temperatures drop to a moderate 64 degrees.
Tonight's serenity precedes a sunlit Sunday, with highs again in the low 80s. However, a weak storm system lurking offshore is expected to usher in thicker clouds by afternoon, particularly affecting the Cape/Islands area. "Some of our guidance is even suggesting a few showers will make it onto the Cape/Islands by 4-5 pm. If they do make it, they would be spotty and light," NBC Boston reports.
The forecast for Sunday night through Monday indicates a 30% chance of showers, which while modest, acknowledges the possibility of precipitation. Monday's temperatures are expected to hover in the upper 70s, potentially allowing for brief sunny intervals despite the forecasted showers, as noted by the National Weather Service.
Looking ahead to the upcoming week, temperatures are predicted to climb with highs nearing the 90s. Each afternoon carries a potential for showers or thunderstorms due to "weak disturbances ripple through the upper atmosphere," as stated by NBC Boston. Whilst the week's outlook promises warmth, it is also a reminder of the "abnormally dry" conditions developing in some parts of New England, a climate trend worth monitoring in the following weeks.
