Boston woke up to a warm, sticky start Friday, with temperatures sitting around 66°F at Logan and dewpoints in the low 60s, making the air feel distinctly humid. Rain showers are likely before noon on Friday, June 26, followed by mostly cloudy skies and a high near 75°F. Winds stay on the lighter side out of the south through the afternoon, and any passing showers should drop roughly a tenth to a quarter inch of rain in brief downpours.
Morning Showers, Evening Thunder Risk
The morning wave of showers should ease toward midday, but the atmosphere is not quite done. A cold front pushing through the region brings a chance of scattered storms late in the day, mainly after 7 p.m. A few of those could deliver brief heavy rain and gusty winds, although the overall risk for severe weather remains low. Forecast specifics come from the National Weather Service Boston/Norton.
Weekend Outlook And Next Week
Saturday stays mostly cloudy with a high around 72°F and only a slight chance of showers, with any stray raindrops most likely along the south coast. From Sunday into next week, a warmer and drier pattern builds in: highs rebound into the upper 70s Monday, head for the mid-80s by Tuesday, and could top out near 90°F by Thursday. one golden day before showers was the focus of an earlier look at this same system; this update mostly sharpens the timing on tonight’s thunder threat.
What To Bring And Who Should Worry
A compact umbrella is a smart move for the morning commute, and anyone with evening plans should be ready for a quick, drenching shower if a storm pops overhead. Widespread street flooding is not expected, but pockets of heavier rain could slow things down on the roads. Boaters and anyone heading out on the harbor should keep an eye out for occasional gusts this afternoon and check the marine forecast before leaving the dock. No watches or warnings are posted for Boston as of this morning.
