Boston residents might want to keep their umbrellas close by as another rainy week is set to drench the city. According to the National Weather Service, Sunday is looking cloudy with a chance of showers, particularly in the afternoon, as temperatures climb to a comfortable high of around 71 degrees. Evening conditions are expected to worsen, with showers likely after 2am and the potential for patchy fog after 1am.

Monday brings more rain, cooler temps in the 57, and strong northeast winds up to 11 mph. Showers are likely to continue into Tuesday, with highs around 64 degrees and light winds, so Bostonians should expect slick roads and damp commutes, as per the National Weather Service.

While the worst of the wet weather is forecasted for the early week, Wednesday might offer a slight reprieve. The city should ready to experience partly sunny skies with a high near 72, though there is still a 50% chance of showers, as noted by the National Weather Service. The recent trend of inclement weather has prompted local officials to closely monitor rivers and streams for potential flooding concerns, especially given the consecutive days of predicted rainfall.

Showers are expected to continue into Thursday and possibly into the evening. Temperatures will stay mild, with highs around 66 degrees and lows in the mid-40s, as reported by the National Weather Service.
