Boston locals are seeing clearer skies today after Thursday's record rainfall and subsequent flooding. Early morning fog may linger, but the Boston 25 News reports that the city is in for mostly sunny afternoons with highs in the low 80s, and just a minor chance of showers or a stray thunderstorm primarily inland.
While weekend plans can proceed with less concern for severe weather, those contemplating a journey westward, such as to the Berkshires, Vermont, or New Hampshire, might face some scattered showers and storms on Saturday. According to the National Weather Service, Boston's weather forecast calls for a calm wind turning east in the afternoon with similarly agreeable weather conditions, looking dry and mostly sunny for the coast and eastern Massachusetts, good news for beachgoers and outdoor enthusiasts alike.
As the city moves past the weekend, the weather pattern suggests a potential uptick in rain chances. With the possibility of scattered showers and storms on Monday, it's not expected to be a total dampener for outdoor activities. However, a substantial shift is on the horizon starting Tuesday when temperatures are anticipated to surge near the 90°F mark, indicating the onset of a hot and mostly sunny week ahead.
The National Weather Service confirms this uptrend in temperature, forecasting a "mostly sunny and hot" Tuesday with similar conditions expected to persist through at least Thursday. Bostonians should prepare for a stretch of summery heat, with Wednesday night lows bordering a muggy 74 degrees, and the daytimes pushing into the low 90s. The south wind, gaining momentum, may bring only the slightest respite from the climbing temperatures.
