Bostonians can expect some respite from the smoke as cleaner air is projected to roll in. The report suggests that the haze shrouding the city is expected to thin today, especially at ground level, offering an improvement in air quality where residents "shouldn’t be able to smell the smoke," according to NBC Boston. The East Coast is also set to experience a slight dip in temperature, with coastal highs resting in the mid-70s and inland areas hovering near 80 degrees.
Despite this welcomed change, the brownish haze isn't likely to vanish entirely, lingering above the region through at least Wednesday, the weather forecast, consistent with the information provided by the National Weather Service, suggests a mostly cloudy passage through midweek; however, the sun is expected to break through more on Thursday and temperatures are set to gently rise towards the weekend, with Friday marking the beginning of a sunny trend that will culminate in heat, nearing Sunday's peak of 91 degrees.
A byproduct of the departing Tropical Storm Dexter, as reported by NBC Boston, will be the swell hitting shores starting today. Beachgoers should exercise caution as rip currents are likely to be intensified as a result of increased swells. These conditions are predicted to peak through Wednesday but will gradually ease throughout the remainder of the week.
Looking ahead, Boston is primed for a balmy uptick in heat by the week's end and this pattern seems to stay put into the next, "the temperatures may climb near 90 by Sunday with increasing humidity," says NBC Boston, signaling summer's fierce grip is not ready to loosen yet as the city marches toward the tail end of the season. Residents planning beach trips or outdoor fun will do well to monitor the weather closely, staying updated on potential hazards and the promise of hotter days ahead.
