As Boston folks peek outside their windows today, they might catch a glimpse of the sky spitting down a few random raindrops. It's not the deluge some may have feared, nor is it the bright, sunny weather others might have hoped for. A brief dance with precipitation is on the books, with "a slight chance of showers between 8 am and 2 pm," a forecast provided by the National Weather Service states. As the day progresses, the clouds promise to stubbornly stick around, with temperatures hovering near a mild 66 degrees, and a northeast wind gently pushing at 7 to 11 mph.
Despite the threat of showers having mostly turned its back on the majority of the Massachusetts coastline, the Cape and Islands may yet need to bust out their umbrellas. "There may be a few spritzes of rain just about anywhere from Cape Ann to Cape Cod," according to a report by NBC Boston. The weather narrative is to slowly shift overnight, as clouds start to wane, setting the stage for the triumphant return of the sun on Thursday.
Residents eager for a dose of Vitamin D won't have to wait long, as bring skies are just over the horizon. Thursday promises sunshine with the mercury to potentially push near a welcoming 78 degrees, reports the National Weather Service. The gentle northeast wind will accompany what's to be a noticeably warmer Thursday.
NBC Boston forecasts a summer-like warmth for one brief reunion with the 80-degree mark tomorrow before a more autumnal atmosphere creeps back in. The golfers and the grill masters will rejoice as "sea breezes return on Friday and temps sink back to the low and mid-70s," ensuring comfortable conditions for weekend plans. As the weekend approaches, expect the weather to play nicely, with mostly sunny days stamped across forecast calendars; albeit, western Massachusetts might see a stray afternoon shower on Sunday.
