As the weekend approaches in Boston, residents can anticipate a familiar pattern of rain and rising humidity. According to the National Weather Service, the forecast for today suggests isolated showers both in the morning and post-1pm, with mostly cloudy skies and a comfortable high of 68 degrees. The chance of precipitation remains modest at 20 percent. As nighttime falls, isolated showers are expected to cease before 9pm, albeit areas of fog are likely to develop, with the overcast giving way to a low around 59.
The gray, murky start to Friday is set to clear up, setting the stage for a mostly sunny afternoon with temperatures possibly scaling near 80 degrees away from the coast, and in the plush comfort of the 70s by the shore. "Humidity is back, with dew points rising into the low and mid-60s," as reported by NBC Boston, likely causing patchy morning fog over the next couple of days. Intermittent showers are forecasted to make a brief appearance overnight into Saturday. Meanwhile, the upcoming weekend paints a varied picture, where a thunderous interlude Saturday afternoon contrasts with a sunny Sunday, further accentuated by gusty afternoon winds.
Residents can exploit the mostly dry hours scheduled for the majority of Sunday and up until noon on Saturday. There's a looming question about the advent of summer-like weather for the region, though, as "Next week will have you questioning whether summer will ever come to New England," according to NBC Boston. A cool and breezy spell is predicted to persist through midweek, before another round of rain is slated to drench the city later in the week. Optimism hangs in the air with hopes that clearer skies might establish themselves in time for the holiday weekend.
Looking ahead to Saturday, the weather takes a moody turn with a likelihood of showers and thunderstorms emerging in the second half of the day, according to the National Weather Service forecast, where the chance of precipitation ramps up to 60 percent. Heading into the night, this figure holds steady, with possible thunderstorms before tapering off slightly in the early hours. The following week's weather remains defiantly un-summery with cooler, windier conditions up until Wednesday, when temperatures will hover around a tolerable mid-60s.
