As Bostonians look towards the upcoming holiday weekend with anticipation, the recent nor'easter becomes a weathered memory. According to NBC Boston, the intense storm that swept through has gone, leaving behind more than 5 inches of rain and localized flooding across eastern Massachusetts. With Friday presenting "lightweight showers" early and "another round of light showers overnight," residents can expect some gloom before the break of brighter days.
Today's weather forecast from the National Weather Service echoes similar sentiments for Boston, with a 60% chance of precipitation early and a high nearing 57 degrees. Although showers might reappear before 3 am, the possibility decreases throughout the night. With predominantly overcast skies, temperatures are expected to hover around the 48-degree mark overnight.
Saturday's skies will remain mostly clouded as well, with a few showers possibly intruding between 11 a.m. and 3 p.m. However, as the weekend progresses, so does the improvement in weather. Sunday offers a promising mix of mostly sunny skies and a high around 64 degrees, a considerable improvement set forth by a gentle northwest wind.
The true gift of the weekend appears on Memorial Day when the forecast hints at near-perfect outdoor conditions with "mostly sunny" skies and temperatures approaching a pleasant 69 degrees. Despite a chance of rain away from the coast, it significantly dwindles to a slight chance of a brief shower. The promise of brighter skies and warmth grants those who've endured the tempest a nod towards summer's approach, with "mostly sunny" conditions persisting into Tuesday and a high of 76 in the cards, as reported by the National Weather Service.
As we venture into the remainder of the week, conditions remain stable though not entirely clear of rain. "We’re still dodging some drops Wednesday on," as stated by NBC Boston. No further nor'easters loom on the horizon, and while no heat wave is expected, the temperatures seem to remain comfortably mild, fitting for welcoming the unofficial start of summer with open arms and gratitude for the respite after the nor'easter's churn.
