Boston Weather Forecast: A Week of Mild Temperatures, Rain, and Clearing Skies Ahead
Boston is set to experience a week of mild weather featuring occasional rain and a warm-up later in the week, according to forecasts from the National Weather Service. There will be no extreme temperatures or severe weather threats, leading to generally calm conditions.
The week will begin with cooler temperatures, reaching highs in the upper 60s, and lows in the 50s. On Monday, the city is expected to have mostly cloudy skies with a slight chance of rain in the morning and again in the late afternoon and evening.
The wettest day is projected to be Tuesday, when patchy fog is expected in the morning, followed by rain showers and the possibility of thunderstorms. Rainfall amounts on Tuesday are likely to be between a tenth and a quarter of an inch, although localized thunderstorms could lead to heavier downpours. Temperatures on Tuesday are anticipated to rise slightly, reaching the low 70s.
Warm and sunny conditions will dominate on Wednesday and Thursday, which are expected to be the hottest days of the week. With dry air moving in, temperatures could soar into the 80s during the daytime. Overnight lows for both days are predicted to be in the 60s.
On Friday, temperatures will slightly decline to the high 70s, accompanied by partly sunny skies. This decline precedes an unsettled weekend weather pattern. The forecast for Saturday, which coincides with the Boston Pride parade, predicts high temperatures in the lower 70s under predominantly cloudy conditions, along with a chance of rain showers. Specifics about the timing and intensity of the rain remain uncertain, but areas north of Route 2 may see heavier rainfall, particularly in parts of Greater Boston.
Currently, flood watches are in effect due to Friday’s storms saturating the soil, which raises concerns for flash flooding. On Saturday, high temperatures are expected to reach the low 70s, creating a potentially damp environment for parade-goers.
By Sunday, conditions are anticipated to improve, with clearer skies and more comfortable weather bringing high temperatures in the mid-70s. Increasing sunshine and drier air is expected to provide a pleasant end to the weekend.
For other regions in the area, Southeastern Massachusetts and parts of New Hampshire will see similar weather patterns with rain and clearing skies, with temperature highs ranging from the low to mid-70s. Northern New England may experience heavier rain accumulation, with predictions of one to one and a half inches on Saturday, raising the risk for isolated flash flooding in certain regions.
As the week progresses, a return to warmer, more summer-like weather is on the horizon with rising humidity and temperatures expected. Overall, Boston’s weather will transition from an unsettled start to a bright and comfortable midweek period.
