Bostonians gearing up for an unpredictable weather rollercoaster this coming week can expect a mix of sun, clouds, and rain. According to the National Weather Service, today will be mostly cloudy with highs inching towards a comfortable 68 degrees and winds blowing from the southwest at speeds between 9 to 11 mph.
Tonight's forecast suggests more cloud cover with a mild temperature drop anticipated around 56 degrees, holding onto a gentle west southwest breeze. Clearer skies are on the horizon for Monday, hitting the same high temperatures, while the clouds push away, briefly making way for mostly sunny conditions. However, for those enjoying their slumber, isolated rain could disturb as there's a 30 percent chance of rain to be expected after 4 a.m. Monday night, the service warns.
Our shot at rain increases Tuesday after 3 p.m., bringing cooler temps in the mid-50s, a sharp sea breeze, and a 30 percent chance of rain, according to a prediction by the NBC Boston weather team. This forecast is a hop off the past month's drier wagon—April has kept up with normal rainfall patterns after a notably wet March, the station explained. Showers become more likely Tuesday night, primarily between 11 p.m. and midnight, with a 60 percent chance of precipitation.
Wednesday won't escape wet conditions either, with a 40 percent chance of rain lingering until afternoon. In spite of the midweek washout, the mercury will climb back up towards the end of the week, making for a mostly sunny Thursday with highs in the upper 60s. As we fast forward through the week, the warming trend goes on with high temperatures floating back into the low 70s come Friday and staying put through Saturday, the forecast from the National Weather Service detailed.
The see-saw of weather patterns—from anticipated showers to the sunny spells—paints a classic spring tableau for the Bay State, where residents are no strangers to reaching for both umbrellas and sunglasses in the span of a single day. As April wanes, Boston looks set to maintain equilibrium within its weather narrative, serving up everything from raindrops to rays.
