Boston's weather is displaying an unusual period of semi-summer warmth for this time of year. According to NBC Boston, the city should prepare for sunny skies, with temperatures potentially reaching the 70s over the weekend, a rare occurrence given the lower sun angle and shorter daylight hours typical for this season.
However, the sunny conditions may be accompanied by potential disruptions, such as minor coastal flooding due to high astronomical tides, as indicated in a National Weather Service advisory.
According to NBC Boston, coastal areas like Morrissey Boulevard and Long Wharf's Harborwalk may see up to one foot of inundation above ground level during the late morning and afternoon.
The National Weather Service forecasts a high of 76 degrees and sunny skies on Monday, providing favorable conditions for the Head of the Charles Regatta over the weekend.
This warm weather may not provide much relief from the region's drought conditions, as NBC Boston reports that "our drought is likely to deepen and expand across the region." The next chance for showers is not expected until the following Thursday, when a front is projected to move through, but it is unlikely to bring significant rainfall.
