Boston gets a quick taste of fall-to-summer whiplash Wednesday: clear skies and a chilly start will give way to sunshine and a high near 64 degrees. The city should stay dry, but southwest winds will pick up through the afternoon, making it a breezy finish to an otherwise easy-weather day.
Sunny Wednesday Quickly Warms
Temperatures were around 46 degrees early Wednesday under clear skies, with calm conditions at Boston Logan. The National Weather Service expects readings to climb through the 50s and low 60s before peaking near 64, with southwest winds ranging from 3 to 13 mph.
Frost advisories remain in effect until 9 a.m. Wednesday for parts of Massachusetts, though Boston proper is not included. The updated outlook also brings a warmer Thursday and higher rain chances later in the holiday weekend than the forecast covered in Hoodline's earlier report.
Thursday Brings The Warmest Air
Thursday looks like the warmest day of the stretch, with mostly sunny skies and a high near 71. A slight chance of rain showers arrives between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., with a 20% chance of precipitation and southwest winds around 13 mph.
Friday turns sunny and a little cooler, topping out near 66 with west winds between 8 and 15 mph. Saturday remains a strong outdoor day, with sunshine, lighter winds and a high near 67.
Holiday Weekend Starts Dry, With Rain Possible Later
Sunday should stay mostly sunny with a high near 67. Rain is possible Sunday or Monday.
Rain is possible Monday, with a high near 68. A few showers could linger Monday night, while Tuesday turns cooler near 64 with only a slight chance of rain after 2 p.m.
