Bostonians can expect a varied mix of weather in the coming days, starting with patchy fog in the mornings and partly sunny skies that bring highs flirting with the 60s. As today progresses, residents should see the fog dissipate, leaving a partly sunny ambiance with gentle breezes from the south, according to the recent forecast by the National Weather Service.
Tonight, the city will see the fog roll back in after 1 a.m. against a backdrop of increasing clouds, which sets a tranquil if not a slightly obscured stage – the low hovering around a comfortable 45 degrees. Sunday then promises to be predominantly cloudy with higher gusts of wind reaching speeds that may tickle the brim of your hat or liberate loose papers from unsuspecting hands, the high could climb to a balmy 67 degrees.
However, things take a notable turn Sunday night when rain is due to make its entrance, reportedly after 9 p.m., and the likelihood of precipitation stands firm at 90%. The consistent rainfall is expected to continue into Monday, drenching the city and creating that familiar slickness on her streets – the high of 59 degrees offering little consolation amidst the downpour.
Monday night still sees rain in the forecast, primarily before 11 p.m., but the clouds are due to persist, stubbornly clinging to the Boston skyline as temperatures dip near 40 degrees. By Tuesday, the city can breathe a collective sigh of relief under mostly sunny skies with a high near 54 – a small reprieve before Wednesday night draws a curtain of clouds once more, and Thursday potentially ushers in additional rain.
A closer look at the week's end points toward potential showers on Friday too, but residents can find some solace in the partly sunny interludes and cooler high of 49 degrees, winds gusting significantly – as they are wont to do in this coastal city. Boston's weather remains as capricious as ever, proving once more the adage that if you don't like the weather, just wait a minute, and it's likely to change.
For full details and updates, Bostonians are encouraged to keep an eye on the National Weather Service forecast.
