Bostonians are gearing up for a mixed bag of weather in the coming week, starting with a sunny Sunday with highs in the low 60s. According to the National Weather Service, the serenity of the clear skies will give way to rain early tomorrow morning, with the high near 64 degrees. This rain event, pegged at a 100% chance of precipitation, is expected to hit the city before 2 PM, possibly accompanied by a thunderstorm, and then tapering off into occasional showers.
The week's main rain chance, as mentioned by NBC Boston, means commuters should prepare for a wet start to the week. However, as patches of fog dissipate and the showers ease by noon, clearer skies are forecasted for the afternoon. Still, Cape Cod will likely see precipitation lingering a bit longer than its mainland counterparts.
After tomorrow's showers, temperatures are expected to drop. On Tuesday, sunny skies are forecasted with a high near 64, while lows may fall into the low 40s and upper 30s in suburban areas. This trend will continue midweek, with highs in the upper 50s and low 60s on Wednesday and Thursday.
The region isn't alone in dealing with weather woes. Further south, the Gulf of Mexico gave birth to Hurricane Milton yesterday. Forecasts predict that Milton will intensify into a major hurricane, expected to make landfall on the West Coast of Florida between Wednesday and Thursday. With a Category 3 or higher rating on the Saffir-Simpson scale, preparations along the Gulf Coast are intensifying as the storm approaches.
Back in Boston, after tomorrow's moisture moves on, residents can expect a stretch of pleasant autumn weather. Clear skies will dominate from Tuesday night through Saturday, with temperatures steadily climbing and peaking at around 70 degrees on Saturday. A light west wind will help maintain these clear conditions, making for what appears to be a stellar end to the week for those in the New England area.
