Boston is starting Tuesday, September 29, with mostly cloudy skies, patchy fog and a chilly 57 degrees, but the roughest part of the morning should fade quickly. The latest observation at Boston Logan reported a light northwest wind around 6 to 8 mph, while the daytime forecast calls for winds easing to 3 to 8 mph and a high near 68.

Fog Clears As Afternoon Skies Brighten

Patchy fog is expected before 9 a.m. Tuesday, followed by partly sunny skies through the afternoon. The chance of rain looks low, with little new rainfall expected.

Tonight turns mostly cloudy with a low around 56 and light northwest winds. The National Weather Service Boston/Norton office says conditions are improving as the low pressure system moves offshore, though lingering cloud cover will keep the city from feeling fully crisp and clear.

Warmth Builds Through Friday

Wednesday stays partly sunny and reaches 69 degrees. Thursday jumps to 78 as warmer, drier air moves in, and Friday could touch 80 — a brief encore of summer before the forecast gets messier.

Weekend Plans Turn More Weather-Dependent

Rain chances return Friday night, with a 30% chance of showers after 9 p.m. Saturday is expected to be cooler as unsettled conditions continue.

Sunday remains unsettled as temperatures drop sharply. Colder air is expected early next week, while small craft advisories remain in effect for parts of the eastern waters through Tuesday afternoon.
