Boston is starting Sunday clear and chilly, with temperatures near 37 degrees before sunshine takes over and pushes the city toward a high of 55. The calm, bright day offers a welcome outdoor window before stronger winds arrive during the middle of the week.
Sunday Sunshine, Clear Skies Tonight
The National Weather Service Boston/Norton office calls for sunny skies and light northeast winds of 1 to 6 mph Sunday, with no rain expected. The latest forecast says skies will remain clear overnight as temperatures fall to around 42 degrees.
Monday should stay mostly sunny after a brief patch of fog between about 8 and 9 a.m., with a high near 57. The latest outlook builds on Hoodline's Saturday forecast while pointing to a noticeably quieter and drier stretch for much of the workweek.
Winds Strengthen Tuesday And Wednesday
Tuesday will be partly sunny and a little warmer, reaching around 59 degrees, but north winds will increase to 12 to 18 mph. Wednesday turns cooler, with a high near 54 and northeast winds around 20 mph, making the day feel more brisk along exposed streets and waterfront paths.
Rain chances remain low through most of the week. A slight chance of showers arrives late Wednesday night and Thursday morning before skies turn partly sunny, while Friday and Saturday look sunny or mostly sunny with highs in the mid-50s.
Rougher Conditions Offshore
There are no land-based watches or warnings listed for Boston or Massachusetts, but boaters should pay close attention to marine conditions. Small Craft Advisories continue into Sunday morning for parts of the waters, and a Gale Watch is posted from Monday evening through Wednesday morning for southern coastal zones.
Offshore seas could build as high as 15 to 17 feet south of Nantucket, with gale-force gusts possible over the ocean. For city residents, the main takeaway is a sunny Sunday followed by a dry forecast that becomes increasingly windy near the coast.
