The weather in Boston this weekend is expected to remain primarily sunny with highs near the 80s, giving residents an ample opportunity to enjoy outdoor activities. According to the National Weather Service, today will see a high near 83 degrees with a shift in wind from west to east in the afternoon. The clear skies continue into the night with a low around 65, and southeast winds turning west after midnight.
Sunday forecasts an isolated chance of showers in the afternoon, with a persistently sunny backdrop and a high again near 83. "Mostly clear, with a low around 65," the evening is expected to follow suit, and southeast winds should settle around 6 mph. However, Monday brings a slightly increased chance of showers and thunderstorms, particularly after 2 pm, despite the mostly sunny conditions earlier in the day.
A report from NBC Boston, highlights that the weekend is set to be "beach-worthy," despite a bit cooler conditions at the water's edge due to sea breezes. The weekend will generally showcase highs near 80 with a shift from dry air Saturday to slightly more humid air by Sunday. Late Sunday afternoon could also bring some "random quick-hitting showers" as a weak area of low pressure moves in, though most might not notice a difference in sky conditions.
Into the beginning of the week, greater chances for showers emerge, which may grow more frequent and include thunderstorms: "Downpours will be common in any of the heavier showers and a rumble of thunder is possible," NBC Boston notes. Looking ahead, much of next week will enjoy lower humidity levels starting mid-week for a stretch of pleasant days.
