Bostonians looking to plan their week around the weather might have to keep an umbrella close at hand, as the forecast promises a string of rainy days ahead. The city will mostly see cloudy skies today, with slightly warmer temperatures hovering around the mid to upper 60s near the coast, and reaching into the mid-70s in other areas, according to NBC Boston. Showers should hold off predominantly until the evening or overnight.
The coming days don't promise to be much dryer. Thursday may gift Boston with a high near 63 degrees and the added company of humidity, along with showers likely and possibly a thunderstorm before 9am, as reported by the National Weather Service. There's a chance that showers could continue sporadically throughout Thursday and into the night.
As we shift towards Friday, the weather plays a teasing game, potentially heating up to near 80 degrees away from the shoreline areas, postponing the showers or storms until later in the day. Although the weekend's forecast indicates chances of showers on both days, details are less definitive, with small systems hard to accurately track for precise timing. The constant possibility of precipitation implies that residents may have to periodically reassess their outdoor plans.
Looking beyond the weekend, the undecided skies seem poised to partially clear up. Sunday might offer more sunshine and a high near 74, albeit with a chance of afternoon showers, while Monday is set to be mostly sunny with a high approaching 68. The flux of small weather systems coming through means locals should be prepared to potentially adjust to quickly changing conditions. The week may not exactly be bright, but neither is it the harbinger of relentless downpours, suggesting outdoor enthusiasts might still find brief windows to enjoy a respite from the wetter conditions.
