Bostonians can look forward to a break in the dreary weather as a sunny Monday, with a high near 66, kicks off a somewhat brighter work week. According to the National Weather Service, clear skies are set on the forecast after a weekend storm moves away, bringing some solace after what's been a rather damp start to April in New England.
While a chance of rain persists, mainly after 3 a.m. tonight and before 1 p.m. Tuesday with scattered showers later in the day, there's no long stretch of rainy days ahead, highs are expected to hover above 50 degrees for the next 10 days, a "welcomed end to the raw pattern," according to NBC Boston.
Come Tuesday, temperatures are forecasted to peak in the 60s; however, some pop-up showers and possibly a rumble of thunder may disrupt the day, especially west of I-495, there's a move through of a cold front Tuesday night leading to dry, albeit cooler, conditions on Wednesday and Thursday, when gusty northwest winds could reach speeds up to 30 mph.
Friday brings a return to warmer air with high temperatures touching the 60s again, and relatively calmer winds were shaping up to rival Monday for being the nicest day of the week, intermittent showers are anticipated after 11 p.m. headed into an unsettled Saturday that will nonetheless maintain warm highs in the upper 60s according to both weather services.
The outlook for Sunday further hints at a trend towards mostly sunny conditions with a high near 59, and a northwest wind around 11 mph, gusts as high as 21 mph, thus setting the stage for a mix of warmth and occasional wetness, representing the full swing of New England's capricious spring temperament.
