Boston is waking to a raw Friday, with temperatures around 39 degrees and light rain reported near Logan Airport. Rain should taper from late morning into early afternoon, but gusty north winds will keep the city feeling colder than the thermometer suggests. The high is expected to stay below 50 degrees.
Rain Fades, Wind Sticks Around
The National Weather Service expects rain to end, followed by mostly cloudy skies. Its Friday aviation forecast gives northeast-to-north winds of 12 to 16 knots, with gusts of 25 to 28 knots. Boston should remain mostly rainy rather than snowy, although a few wet flakes could mix in at higher elevations farther inland.
The latest forecast is a sharper update to Hoodline's earlier outlook, with the storm now winding down sooner than previously expected. Friday night will stay mostly cloudy, with temperatures dropping to around 35 degrees.
Weekend Weather Brings A Reset
Saturday looks partly sunny with a high near 47 and a northwest wind around 10 mph. Sunday should be brighter, with sunshine and a high near 48, making it a better bet for outdoor plans even if it still feels brisk.
Sunny Skies And Warmer Afternoons Ahead
The forecast turns notably calmer next week, with sunny skies and highs near 49 on Monday and 54 on Tuesday. Wednesday and Thursday could reach about 58 degrees under mostly sunny skies, while clear, calm nights are likely to bring lows into the 20s and low 30s.
Coastal Waters Remain Rough
Boaters should be cautious Friday, as open waters may see north or northeast gusts near 35 knots and seas between 5 and 10 feet. Gale warnings remain in effect for much of the open coastal waters through 7 p.m., while high tide and strong winds could bring minor flooding or splashover along north-facing parts of Cape Cod Bay and Nantucket.
