Some nicer weather is on the way for the weekend, but the forecast isn’t quite that simple.
High pressure remains in control into Saturday with sunshine and cool conditions. Freeze Warnings are in effect again tonight south of the Mass Pike and along the coast. If you’re wondering why there are no Freeze Warnings north and west of Boston, it’s not because it won’t be as cold, it’s because we haven’t received the average date of the last 32-degree reading for the year yet in those areas. Temperatures will gradually moderate on Friday and Saturday as the high slides off to the east. By later Saturday we’ll see some high clouds start to move in ahead of a warm front. They’ll thicken up in the evening with a few showers likely Saturday night. By Sunday, we’ll turn a bit milder, but we’ll still have plenty of clouds around and a pop-up shower is possible. Monday is the day with the trickiest forecast. We’ll be mostly dry, with partly sunny skies, and just a slight chance for a stray shower, but the temperatures forecast is not that easy. While it may get quite mild inland, a backdoor cold front could result in a much cooler day near the coast, especially north of Boston. How quickly that front moves in will impact the temperature forecast, but in the afternoon, many places near the coast will likely drop into the 50s or even upper 40s while inland areas will be well into the 60s or even 70s.
Thursday night: Clear and chilly. Low 27-34.
Friday: Sun, sun, and more sun. High 53-60, little cooler at the coast.
Friday night: Clear skies. Low 31-38.
Saturday: Sunny in the morning, increasing and thickening clouds in the afternoon. High 59-66, little cooler right at the coast.
Saturday night: Mostly cloudy with a few showers likely, mainly after midnight. Low 38-45.
Sunday: Intervals of clouds and sun, slight chance for an afternoon shower. High 61-68, cooler along the coast.
Sunday night: Partly cloudy. Low 47-54.
Monday: Partly sunny, slight chance for a shower. High 66-73 inland, 58-65 along the coast, possibly even cooler during the afternoon.
