Boston starts Wednesday, October 28, on the chilly side, with early temperatures in the lower 40s in urban areas before partly sunny skies help push the afternoon high to about 55. Rain is unlikely, making for a crisp but manageable day across the city.
Sunny Warm-Up Before A Breezy Friday
The National Weather Service expects a quick warm-up Thursday, when sunshine and southwest winds lift temperatures near 67 degrees. Friday should be the warmest day of the stretch at about 68, though stronger west winds could bring gusts around 30 to 35 mph in exposed spots.
Thursday night stays mainly clear, while Friday night turns cooler and breezier, dropping to around 43. No watches, warnings or advisories are listed for Boston, but Friday's wind could make the warmer forecast feel less relaxing than the number suggests.
Halloween Weekend Looks Mostly Cooperative
Saturday, October 31, is forecast to be sunny, with temperatures shifting back into the lower 60s this weekend and northwest winds around 17 mph, with gusts to 30 mph. Saturday night should be partly cloudy, so Halloween costumes may need to accommodate a decidedly non-summerlike evening.
Sunday, November 1, stays sunny and reaches about 60 degrees before the pattern becomes less settled. The updated outlook is a substantive refresh from Hoodline's earlier Boston forecast, with rain chances extending from Sunday night into Tuesday.
Tuesday is expected to top out near 54. For now, the forecast favors dry plans through Halloween weekend, with umbrellas becoming more useful once the calendar turns to November.
