The heavy rains that drenched the Greater Boston area are on their way out this morning, bringing an end to short-term flooding and ponding issues in some regions. "Showers are exiting off Cape this morning, and the sun is inching in from the north," reported NBC Boston, suggesting that locals can expect clearer skies and milder temperatures throughout the day.
Today's forecast indicates that the coastal areas may struggle to hit 70 degrees, while further inland, temperatures are expected to reach the low 70s. It's described as a much cooler day, complemented by more comfortable air, a pleasant change for residents. According to the National Weather Service, the northeast wind will blow at 9 to 11 mph, and despite the morning's stormy start, the sky should clear, becoming mostly sunny with a high near 71.
Looking ahead, the weekend also promises agreeable weather conditions. Saturday is set to welcome sunny skies with highs nearing 79 inland and the upper 70s along the coast, due to the influence of sea breezes. The good weather won't be shadowed by smoke from recent wildfires as the skies are expected to be "mostly blue – void of any recent smoke from distant wildfires," NBC Boston added.
Come Sunday, and the warming trend continues, pushing temperatures into the mid-80s across the board, with a gentle southwestern breeze. Similar conditions will persist into Monday, with a minor uptick in humidity levels. Looking further into next week, dry weather should hold steady, with the next possibility for showers not anticipated until Thursday. So for those planning leisure activities or just reveling in the reprieve from rainy weather, the upcoming days seem particularly promising.
