As the weekend begins, Boston is once again seeing rain, continuing a pattern that has lasted for 14 straight weekends. According to NBC Boston, rain showers started Saturday morning and are expected to taper off in the afternoon for areas north of the city. Southeastern areas, including Cape Cod, may not see clearing until mid-afternoon.
Temperatures remain cool, staying in the upper 50s to low 60s—below average for mid-June. However, Sunday's forecast brings improved conditions, with brighter skies and highs in the mid-60s away from the coast, offering better weather for Father's Day.
While cooler temperatures will continue for a few more days, a gradual warm-up is expected through the week. As per the National Weather Service, highs could reach the 80s by Wednesday and climb to around 88 degrees by Juneteenth. Winds will shift from the coast to the southwest at 6 to 11 mph, marking a break from the recent cool onshore flow.
By Thursday night, there's a 30% chance of showers, possibly with thunderstorms. Looking ahead to next weekend, NBC Boston reports that a change in the weather pattern could allow for sunshine both Saturday and Sunday. While forecasts are still uncertain, there is a possibility that the long stretch of wet weekends may come to an end.
