Boston gets a mostly manageable Monday after a cloudy start, with temperatures climbing to near 58 degrees and only a brief shower chance around midday. The bigger weather story is waiting until late this week, when rain and stronger winds are expected to return.
Brief Shower Chance Before Skies Brighten
The National Weather Service Boston/Norton office says a slight chance of rain showers is possible between 11 a.m. and noon Monday, followed by cloudy skies. West winds around 12 mph will keep the afternoon feeling brisk, while temperatures drop to about 42 degrees Monday night.
Tuesday should remain cloudy with a high near 56, and Veterans Day on Wednesday is also forecast to be cloudy, with a high near 57. The forecast has sharpened since Sunday's Hoodline outlook, particularly around the timing and strength of the late-week system.
Rain And Strong Winds Return Thursday Night
Thursday could bring unsettled weather, with rain possible later. Friday currently looks wet and windy, with a high near 50, strong winds and gusts potentially reaching 35 knots, or about 40 mph; rain may linger into Saturday, when the high should stay near 48.
There are no land-based watches or warnings for Massachusetts in the current forecast, but boaters should pay attention to the National Weather Service marine advisory, which remains in effect for parts of the coastal waters through early Wednesday. For Boston residents, the best stretch for outdoor plans runs from Monday afternoon through Wednesday before the wetter pattern settles back in.
