Bostonians enjoying sunny weather and comfortable temperatures on Friday should prepare for a change by Labor Day weekend. Today, expect sunny skies with a light east wind and highs around 72°F. Tonight, clouds will increase, and temperatures will drop to about 60°F, as reported by the National Weather Service.
As the weekend progresses, Saturday morning will be mostly cloudy with highs around 78°F. Showers and thunderstorms are possible later in the evening, especially after 11 pm. While the morning and afternoon might stay mostly dry with just a few sprinkles in Massachusetts and southern New Hampshire, expect up to a quarter inch of rain later in the day.
By Sunday, the possibility of showers and thunderstorms lingers in the early hours, gradually giving way to a partly sunny afternoon with a high near 81 and winds at 7 to 10 mph, per the NBC Boston report. Humidity, somewhat higher over the weekend, should taper off as the holiday itself approaches, indicative of the cold front's passage.
Labor Day will bring relief from the rain, with sunny skies and highs in the mid-70s. A slight chance of showers before 8 pm Sunday is expected to clear, with temperatures dropping to around 61°F. The good weather will continue through most of the following week, with temperatures in the mid-70s to low 80s and mostly sunny days.
