Boston is starting Friday with patchy fog and midlevel cloud cover, but clearing skies and temperatures in the 70s are expected before a much cooler weekend settles in.
Friday Turns Sunny After A Foggy Start
Patchy fog is expected before 9 a.m., followed by dry and sunny conditions through the afternoon. Northwest winds will run 8 to 15 knots, with gusts up to 20 to 25 mph in some areas, while temperatures fall to around 53 Friday night under clear skies.
Saturday Brings Fall-Like Temperatures And Beach Hazards
Saturday looks mostly sunny but noticeably cooler, with a high near 64 and an overnight low around 52. The National Weather Service Boston/Norton discussion lists a Rip Statement for east-facing Massachusetts beaches for Saturday because of increased rip-current risk. Swimmers should follow posted warnings and lifeguard guidance.
Sunday Rain Arrives After Noon
Clouds return Sunday, with shower and rain chances increasing Sunday morning into Sunday afternoon and a 60% chance of precipitation. The high should reach about 65 degrees, while Sunday night brings more showers, patchy fog, and a 70% chance of rain.
Showers could linger into Monday, which is expected to reach about 68 degrees. The workweek then turns cooler, with windy conditions Tuesday and a high around 63; Wednesday is expected to be sunny, with increased shower chances Thursday, according to the National Weather Service.
