Boston's forecast for the week includes a mix of sunshine and possible showers. According to the National Weather Service, Wednesday will be sunny with a high around 84, but there may be a small chance of evening showers. 

Thursday's weather, as NBC Boston reports, might carry some inconvenience with the possibility of sweeping afternoon downpours, maybe even a rumble of thunder. While a complete washout isn't expected, getting caught in one of these downpours could lead to a thorough soaking.

By Friday, expect mostly sunny skies with a high of around 82, a break from Thursday's weather. The weekend will stay sunny, but be aware that Sunday might bring more consistent rain due to a stronger weather system.

Temperatures are predicted to sustain in the low to mid-80s, dropping slightly during periods of cloud cover. NBC Boston pointed out that, although it seems the coming system won't directly affect the area, there's room for uncertainty as "strange things can happen when weather systems collaborate and coalesce." New Englanders should anticipate wave sets and rough surf as the soon-to-be hurricane Ernesto advances away from Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands. Eyes will be to the east as Bermuda finds itself in the hurricane's potential path this weekend.

The coming days will feature a mix of sun and rain, with Sunday requiring extra attention. Both the National Weather Service and NBC Boston advise keeping plans flexible and staying alert to changing conditions.
