Boston is set for a mostly sunny Saturday with temperatures climbing into the mid-80s, offering a comfortable window for errands, waterfront walks and outdoor plans before a wetter pattern moves in. The city should stay mostly dry, though a stray shower or thunderstorm could pop up later in the day.
Mostly Sunny Saturday With A Small Shower Risk
The forecast calls for a high near 85 degrees with a light south wind of 2 to 7 mph. The National Weather Service says any showers or thunderstorms Saturday should be widely scattered, with the better chance over inland areas.
Clouds will gradually increase during the afternoon, but most Boston neighborhoods should remain dry. Saturday night turns mostly cloudy, with temperatures settling near 69 and south winds around 8 mph.
Stormier Pattern Arrives Sunday Night
Sunday stays warm and partly sunny, with another high near 85 and somewhat stronger south winds of 7 to 13 mph. The more significant weather change arrives Sunday night, when showers and thunderstorms become likely after 2 a.m.
Monday looks like the wettest and most unsettled day of the period, with rain showers early followed by additional showers and thunderstorms and a high near 83. Forecasters are watching for periods of heavy rain and gusty winds as the system moves through, although the exact rainfall totals are not yet settled.
Rain Chances Linger Into Next Week
Tuesday through Friday will bring a mix of sunshine, clouds and periodic shower or thunderstorm chances, with highs generally in the low to mid-80s. Wednesday and Friday may offer partial breaks, but neither day is a guaranteed washout-free stretch.
For Boston outdoor plans, Saturday is the safest bet, while Sunday night through Monday could bring wet commutes, sudden downpours and occasional thunder. No watches, warnings or advisories are currently listed for the city or nearby waters.
