Boston is getting one more remarkably warm November day before the umbrellas take over. Wednesday will be sunny with temperatures near 75 degrees, while southwest winds add a mild breeze before the city slips back into the upper 60s later in the afternoon. The big change arrives late Thursday, when a wet and unsettled stretch moves in.
The National Weather Service Boston/Norton says Wednesday's high could come within a few degrees of Boston's 78-degree record, with Thursday nearly as warm at 73. Thursday should stay mostly dry during the day, a slight sharpening of the forecast compared with Hoodline's Tuesday forecast.
Rain Arrives Thursday Night
Rain chances rise after midnight Thursday, followed by a cloudy Friday with rain likely before 4 p.m. Friday's high should reach about 70 degrees, and a slight chance of thunderstorms could add a few heavier downpours to the mix.
Friday night looks like the wettest part of the stretch, with rain and a slight chance of thunderstorms and an 80% chance of precipitation in the forecast. Friday's south winds should be around 5 to 7 mph, so the main headache will be wet roads and reduced visibility rather than a major wind event.
Wet Saturday Gives Way To Cooler Weather
Rain is possible Saturday, with a high near 65 and an 80% chance of precipitation. Forecasters say the heaviest rainfall zone is still uncertain, but poor-drainage and urban ponding could become issues in spots; no watches, warnings, or advisories are currently posted.
Sunday brings a slight chance of morning rain before mostly sunny skies return, with a high near 61. Monday and Tuesday stay seasonable in the mid-50s, making Wednesday and Thursday the best windows for outdoor plans before the weekend washout arrives.
