Boston was clear and chilly Monday morning, with temperatures in the mid-40s and a bright, dry day ahead. Skies will stay sunny as temperatures climb to about 58 degrees, but the calm start will give way to a noticeably windier stretch by midweek.
Sunny Monday Gives Way To A Breezier Tuesday
Monday night will turn partly cloudy, with temperatures falling to around 45 degrees and northeast winds continuing at 6 to 9 mph. Tuesday should remain mostly dry and partly sunny, reaching near 60 degrees, though north winds will increase to between 9 and 18 mph, according to the National Weather Service Boston/Norton.
Wednesday looks cooler and blustery, with a high near 54 and northeast winds around 20 mph. A slight chance of rain showers arrives after 11 p.m. Wednesday, with a low near 44 and a 20% chance of precipitation.
Mostly Dry Weather Holds Through The Weekend
Thursday should rebound to around 61 degrees under mostly sunny skies, followed by a sunny but cooler Friday near 55. Saturday stays sunny with a high near 56, while Sunday brings another sunny day and a high near 61.
Rain chances remain limited for Boston proper, although coastal areas could see occasional showers later in the week. The pattern is a sharper update from Sunday's outlook, which emphasized a calmer start before the stronger coastal wind setup developed; Hoodline's earlier forecast outlined that initial transition.
Rougher Conditions Expected On The Water
The biggest weather concern will be offshore, where a Gale Warning is scheduled from 8 p.m. Monday through 8 p.m. Wednesday across parts of the southern coastal waters, including Cape Cod Bay, Nantucket Sound and Buzzards Bay. A Small Craft Advisory is also posted for northern waters, with strong northeast winds and building seas expected.
Forecasters say seas could reach 12 feet in southern waters by Tuesday morning and rise as high as 14 to 15 feet offshore later in the week. For Boston residents, that means a rougher waterfront and potentially difficult boating conditions, while east- and northeast-facing beaches may have to contend with increased erosion risk.
