Boston gets one more mild, mostly dry day Thursday before fall starts making a stronger case for itself. Early temperatures are near 59 degrees under cloudy skies, but the city should warm to about 74 by afternoon, with dry conditions through Friday morning.
Mostly Cloudy Thursday, Warmer Friday
Southwest winds will run around 6 to 10 mph Thursday, with clouds giving way to some afternoon brightness. The latest outlook is a bit cooler than the forecast published Wednesday by Hoodline, which had called for highs closer to 77 Thursday and 80 Friday.
Friday still looks like the warmest day of the stretch, with mostly sunny skies and a high near 80, according to the National Weather Service. A slight chance of showers arrives after 5 p.m., with the better chance coming Friday night between roughly 8 p.m. and 2 a.m.; the chance of precipitation is about 30%.
Sunny Weekend, Then A Sharper Chill
Saturday brings the best outdoor window of the weekend, with sunny skies and a high near 66, followed by a mostly clear night near 50. Sunday stays mostly sunny and cooler near 63, though showers could return after 9 p.m.
A few showers may linger early Monday before skies turn mostly sunny, with a high near 66. The bigger change arrives Monday night and Tuesday, when temperatures fall to around 45 overnight and 56 Tuesday afternoon under mostly sunny skies; no watches, warnings or advisories are listed for Boston.
