Boston residents might want to keep their umbrellas close this weekend, as the weather forecast predicts a mix of conditions, starting with areas of fog before 9 a.m. today and a high near 73. Tonight, there's a fair 20% chance of rain, with low temperatures around 61 degrees, as reported by the National Weather Service.
Looking to Saturday, NBC Boston warns of possible severe weather. "Thunder is our biggest concern on Saturday," the outlet states, adding that the humidity can fuel some hefty afternoon storms. With the weather highly volatile, locals are advised to keep an eye on the skies for thunderstorms, potentially severe enough to quickly cause localized flooding and display "frequent, vivid lightning."
The weekend's tumultuous weather carries into Saturday night with a 60% chance of showers and thunderstorms predicted by the National Weather Service, before 10 p.m. The low is expected to be around 59, accompanied by variable winds. By Sunday, the skies are to clear up somewhat with a slight chance of showers after 1 p.m., and a breezy day with highs near 73 is forecasted.
Next week, however, the weather outlook takes a more dismal turn. According to NBC Boston, the region is to prepare to "stir anger and disgust" as a coastal storm forms off New Jersey. This storm is set to bring a cold, windy onslaught to New England with lots of rain, challenging the norms of typical weather patterns for the area. The conditions should improve by the holiday weekend, but not before having residents endure a period of struggle with unseasonably low temperatures.
