Boston started Saturday under cloudy skies and temperatures near 55 degrees, with rain showers and patchy fog expected through the morning. The city could reach 62 degrees before the wet weather gradually tapers, but the umbrellas are not getting a day off just yet.
The forecast calls for an 80% chance of rain Saturday. The National Weather Service forecasts 1 to 3 inches across the broader region, with urban and poor-drainage flooding possible and the greatest flood risk in southeastern Massachusetts and Rhode Island.
Showers Linger Into Saturday Night
Rainfall chances should diminish Saturday morning, then increase again Saturday afternoon into Saturday night. Overnight temperatures will fall to around 47 degrees, with patchy fog and west winds increasing to between 5 and 16 mph.
Boaters should also expect gusty west to northwest winds and rougher seas to redevelop tonight into Sunday. Small-craft conditions are expected on parts of the coastal waters, while visibility could be reduced at times by rain and fog.
Sunday Brings Sun And Stronger Winds
Sunday may start with a few showers before 7 a.m., then turn mostly sunny with a high near 58 degrees. Gusts could reach 26 mph, making it feel noticeably brisk even after the clouds clear.
Cooler, Mostly Dry Weather Takes Over
Monday and Tuesday look mostly sunny, with highs near 55 and 56 degrees and steady west winds. Veterans Day should stay sunny and seasonably cool, with another high near 56 degrees.
The next chance for a wetter pattern arrives Thursday night, with rain chances continuing Friday. Friday's high will be near 49 degrees.
