Boston woke up to crisp, clear air on Wednesday, June 3, 2026, with midmorning temperatures holding in the upper 50s to low 60s around Logan Airport. Sunshine will carry the city into the mid 70s this afternoon, while a light northeast breeze keeps the waterfront a little cooler than the neighborhoods farther inland. The workweek stays dry through Friday, before an approaching front bumps up the odds of showers and thunderstorms late Saturday into Sunday.
Afternoon Temperatures And The Sea Breeze
Boston is on track for a high near 74°F this afternoon with northeast winds around 2 to 8 mph. Communities away from the harbor should run a few degrees warmer than the shoreline. Skies stay clear tonight with a low near 58°F, as southwest winds increase to about 7 to 10 mph. These details come from the National Weather Service Boston/Norton.
End-of-Week Warmth For Inland Neighborhoods
Thursday and Friday will feel more like early summer, with highs pushing into the low 80s away from the immediate coast and mid 80s possible in interior river valleys. A stronger sea breeze keeps the shoreline cooler, but inland parks, playgrounds, and denser urban blocks can expect a clearly warmer and drier feel. Humidity stays in the comfortable range through Friday, which makes this stretch a solid choice for outdoor plans.
Weekend Rain Threat
Rain chances start to creep in Saturday evening with a slight chance of showers, then showers and thunderstorms become most likely on Sunday. Daytime highs drop back to around 70°F as northeast winds turn blustery. Sunday night looks cooler, with lows near 53°F and gustier winds, and the chance of precipitation around 70 percent. The timing and details are laid out in the National Weather Service forecast, so it is wise to keep a backup plan for outdoor events.
What To Do
Use the dry, sunny stretch through Friday for errands, outdoor dining, or a stroll along the Harborwalk, and bring a light jacket if you will be near the water in the morning. Mariners should note seas around 1 to 3 feet today, building toward about 5 feet later in the week, with the best shot at brief thunderstorms late Saturday into Sunday. Check the latest forecast before any trips or big events, and keep a rain plan ready for Sunday.
