Boston starts Sunday under increasing mid-level clouds, but the dry morning has a short shelf life. Rain showers are expected to arrive Sunday morning, with temperatures rising into the 60s and umbrellas becoming the day’s most useful accessory.
Afternoon Rain Takes Over
Showers should begin Sunday morning, with southeast winds around 3 to 9 mph. The National Weather Service cited roughly 0.30 to 0.70 inches in global and ensemble guidance and 0.50 to 1.2 inches in HREF guidance, with higher localized totals possible, according to National Weather Service Boston/Norton MA.
Rain showers and patchy fog will continue Sunday night. The setup favors a prolonged soaking rain rather than widespread torrential downpours, though minor ponding could develop in poor-drainage areas.
A Cooler, Windier Week Ahead
Monday brings a slight chance of an early shower before partly sunny skies take over, with a high near 68. Northeast winds will run 10 to 14 mph, and Monday night will turn mostly cloudy with a low around 53.
Tuesday stays cool and windy, with a slight chance of showers. Wednesday may offer some afternoon brightness, but it will also bring stronger northeast winds, with gusts reaching up to 35 knots, or about 40 mph, and a high in the 60s.
Late Week Could Get Rough Along The Coast
A slight chance of showers returns Thursday, with possible rain from Thursday through Saturday if the low tracks farther west. The forecast also points to a possible offshore coastal low late in the week, which could bring gusts of 25 to 35 mph on land and stronger winds over the water, although the storm’s track remains uncertain, as reported by National Weather Service Boston/Norton MA.
The latest outlook is a colder and windier update from Saturday’s Hoodline forecast, which had called for a warmer Sunday and a lower rain chance.
