Improvements heading into weekend after historic day of rain

WEEKEND IN VIEW

After a historic day of rain and flooding across parts of Massachusetts on Thursday, it’s a much quieter and calmer scene this morning across the Boston area. Some early fog and lingering low clouds are hanging around to start the day, but we’re turning the page weather-wise.

As we move through the day, expect more breaks of sunshine, especially into the afternoon. Temperatures will climb into the low 80s—seasonable and comfortable—with just a slight chance of a pop-up shower or storm, mainly across the interior.

Looking ahead to the weekend, the weather is shaping up nicely. Both Saturday and Sunday will feature highs in the low 80s and a bit of that typical mid-summer humidity—nothing extreme, just a little sticky.

If you’re planning to head west into the Berkshires, Vermont, or New Hampshire on Saturday, keep an eye on the sky. A few scattered showers and storms are possible in those areas. But for eastern Massachusetts and the coast, it’s looking dry and mostly sunny—great beach or outdoor weather!

HEATING UP NEXT WEEK

By Monday, we’ll have a slightly better chance for scattered showers and storms, but right now, it doesn’t look like a washout. Then we flip the switch to full-on summer heat starting Tuesday, with highs near 90°F. Get ready for a stretch of hot weather as we move deeper into July.

Have a great weekend!
