Boston will see a muggy, seasonably warm Thursday, with temperatures reaching about 79 and afternoon showers possible. The easygoing setup has a timer on it: a slight chance of showers arrives after 5 p.m., with a wetter, foggier night ahead.
Afternoon Starts Bright, Then Rain Risk Builds
South winds will stay light at 2 to 7 mph as temperatures climb through the 70s. The National Weather Service Boston/Norton says the day will feel muggy, with scattered showers becoming more likely toward evening.
Thursday Night Gets Messy
Rain showers could develop Thursday night, followed by patchy fog as showers continue overnight. Expected rainfall is generally between a tenth and 0.6 inches for most areas, with locally higher amounts.
Most of the region should see manageable rainfall, but an isolated moderate or heavy downpour is possible. No watches, warnings or advisories are listed for Boston, Massachusetts or nearby marine areas.
Friday Clears Fast
A few showers may linger until around 7 a.m. Friday before skies turn mostly sunny and temperatures reach about 75 degrees. Northwest winds of 7 to 13 mph will make the afternoon breezy, with stronger gusts possible inland.
Saturday Is The Outdoor Window
Saturday looks like the week’s best bet for outdoor plans, with sunny skies and a high near 64 degrees. Those fall-like temperatures are a sharp reminder that summer is losing its grip.
Sunday Turns Wet Again
Rain is expected to increase Sunday morning, with an afternoon high near 63. It may continue into early Monday.
The shift is more pronounced than the outlook in Wednesday’s Boston forecast, which had pointed to a quieter weekend setup. Monday and Tuesday stay cool, with highs near 63 degrees, while additional chances for showers may linger into early next week. Wednesday is forecast to be sunny with a high near 80.
