Boston is waking to clear skies and crisp fall air Tuesday, with temperatures near 48 degrees early and a sunny high around 58. Northwest winds will add a noticeable bite, with gusts reaching up to 25 mph before easing tonight.

Sunny, Breezy Tuesday Gives Way to Cold Night

The day stays dry from morning through evening, but it will feel cooler than Monday as northwest winds run around 14 mph. In Boston, Hoodline forecasts skies to remain clear tonight, with temperatures falling to about 43 degrees and west winds.

A Frost Advisory is in effect from 11 p.m. Tuesday to 9 a.m. Wednesday across parts of Massachusetts, though Boston proper is not included. The advisory covers colder inland and southeastern areas where temperatures may dip into the mid-30s, posing a risk to sensitive outdoor plants.

Brief Warmup Builds Into Thursday

Wednesday brings a quick rebound, with sunshine and a high near 64 as southwest winds gradually increase. Thursday looks like the warmest day of the stretch, with sunny skies and temperatures climbing to around 73.

Friday stays bright, with temperatures in the 60s, followed by a mostly sunny Saturday around 64. The updated outlook adds more detail to Monday's Hoodline forecast, especially for the warmer Thursday and the holiday weekend.

Holiday Weekend Mostly Dry, Showers Possible

Sunday should remain mostly sunny with a high near 62, with a low-confidence chance of rain late Sunday into Monday. Outdoor plans look broadly workable but not completely locked in.
