Boston is in for a chilly, blustery Saturday, with a little early rain followed by increasing sun and temperatures topping out near 50 degrees. Northwest winds around 17 mph could gust to 30 mph, making the afternoon feel colder than the thermometer suggests.
Windy Afternoon Gives Way To Frost
Showers over southeastern Massachusetts should diminish more toward the afternoon, with some lingering into midafternoon on Cape Cod and the Islands, while skies clear more toward evening, according to the National Weather Service. After sunset, temperatures will drop quickly, reaching about 35 degrees overnight as winds ease, with areas of frost or freezing conditions possible.
Sunday will bring sunshine and diminishing winds, with light northerly winds. Residents with cars parked outdoors may want to allow extra time Sunday morning, especially in colder spots outside the downtown heat island.
Temperatures Rebound Into Next Week
The week gradually moderates, with temperatures returning to the 50s and 60s into early next week. Monday will be sunny, with Wednesday looking breezy.
Marine conditions will be rougher than the city forecast, with advisories posted for portions of the coastal waters and forecasters watching for stronger northeast winds and building seas early next week. Anyone heading onto Boston-area waters should check the latest conditions before departing.
