As Boston basks under sunny skies today with a high near 75 degrees, a light east wind is expected to subtly shift the landscape, according to the National Weather Service. Evening approaches and the city will see increasing clouds with temperatures hovering around 59 degrees.
Come Friday, residents can start to slowly expect to see changes as onshore breezes modestly push up the humidity levels. Beginning with a possibility of morning drizzle, the day is set to give way to a partly sunny afternoon and a high nearing 74. The evening may bring partly cloudy conditions and a low around 61, with a north wind around 8 mph, as reported by the National Weather Service.
Saturday continues the trend of partly sunny skies during the day, but a chance of showers will threaten to to quickly change the scene between 9 pm and 5 am. "Mostly cloudy, with a low around 59," the National Weather Service forecast indicates, with a south wind that's set to switch westerly after midnight. Precipitation chances linger at 40 percent.
Sunday redemption comes, however, as the skies clear up to provide a sunny close to the weekend, with a high near 75 and a peaceful west wind at 7 to 9 mph. The beginning of the new week continues this trend of sunny days, with Monday and Tuesday both forecast to remain largely clear and warm, as per information from the National Weather Service.
Meanwhile, NBC Boston notes an offshore storm developing late Friday might gain tropical characteristics, posing no significant threat but potentially stirring ocean swells along the beaches. Despite the potential inconvenience, the passage of this storm system is expected not to greatly impact the pleasant weather pattern the city has been experiencing this week.
