Afternoon And This Week

Boston gets a classic slow burn this week. Dry weather sticks around through the work week as temperatures steadily climb, with highs near 71°F on Wednesday, June 3, 2026, rising into the upper 70s on Thursday, June 4, 2026, and pushing into the low 80s by Friday, June 5, 2026, for some inland spots, according to the National Weather Service Boston/Norton. Winds stay on the lighter side, so it should feel seasonable rather than blustery.

Weekend Outlook

Confidence starts to slip as we head into the weekend. Saturday currently leans mostly dry for a lot of neighborhoods, but there is about a 30% chance of afternoon showers and a few thunderstorms, especially away from the coast. By Sunday, a low tracking near a stalled frontal boundary bumps up the odds of showers and knocks temperatures back, with highs holding in the mid-60s. If you are banking on outdoor plans either day, it is smart to have a backup indoors option in case those scattered showers decide to drift through.

On The Water And Outdoor Plans

Out on the water, boaters should see generally calm conditions today with seas around 2 and light onshore breezes, although seas may build closer to 5 feet later in the week over the outer waters. For park regulars and commuters, mornings will still call for a light layer while afternoons trend comfortably warm. Anyone planning longer harbor runs or ferry trips should check updated local forecasts before casting off.
