Boston is starting Tuesday with clear skies and temperatures in the mid-60s, setting up a mostly sunny afternoon near 80 degrees. A west wind of 5 to 9 mph will add a little movement to the air without making outdoor plans complicated.
The day should stay mostly dry, with only a small chance of a stray shower and no active watches, warnings or advisories for the area, according to the National Weather Service Boston/Norton. Clouds may increase somewhat during the afternoon, but Boston is still looking at a comfortable late-August day.
Clear Skies Return Wednesday
Wednesday brings another sunny day with a high near 81 degrees and light northwest winds. Overnight temperatures will fall to around 65, making for a cooler and more comfortable start Thursday.
Humidity And Storm Chances Build Late Thursday
Thursday turns warmer, with partly sunny skies and a high near 83 degrees. Rain chances rise Thursday night, especially after 10 p.m., when scattered showers and a few thunderstorms could develop as humidity returns.
Friday is the unsettled day of the forecast, with showers and thunderstorms likely at times from the morning into the afternoon. The high should reach about 82 degrees, but outdoor plans may need a backup option as the chance of precipitation climbs to 60%.
Weekend Looks Like The Better Bet
Drier weather is expected to return Saturday, which should be mostly sunny with a high near 75 degrees. Sunday also looks mostly sunny and mild near 78, while Monday stays mainly bright before a slight chance of showers arrives late in the day.
