Bostonians can look forward to a week of sun-drenched days and rising temperatures. Today's forecast promises clear skies with a high of 73 degrees and west winds ranging from 6 to 8 mph, according to the National Weather Service. As nighttime falls, the weather is expected to transition from mostly cloudy to clear, with comfortable lows around 55 degrees.
As the week progresses, temperatures are set to climb. Tuesday will be sunny with temperatures peaking near 77 degrees, and by Wednesday, the mercury will soar to a high near 86. Thursday ramps up the heat even further—with the forecast spelling out a "mostly sunny and hot" day, with highs flirting with the 90-degree mark. However, by Thursday evening, changes are on the horizon as high pressure starts to weaken, and the chance for rain begins to sneak into the picture, as NBC Boston reported.
The tail end of the week might dampen outdoor plans as Friday brings a 30% chance of showers after 2 p.m., leading into a night where showers become likely after 3am. Saturday continues the trend, with a 60% likelihood of showers during the day, dropping slightly to 50% for scattered showers on Saturday night.
The weekend's unsettled weather could impact those with plans to soak in the sun or enjoy outdoor activities. "The trend points toward another unsettled weekend, keep an eye on the forecast if you’re making outdoor plans," advises NBC Boston, indicating that while the high points of the week's early sunny and hot weather could peak at summer-like conditions, the latter half shows signs of instability. With Sunday returning back to mostly sunny skies, and a high near 76, it appears the week might bookend with favorable weather for those wishing to spend time outdoors.
