Warm weather is here to stay

SATURDAY WEATHER

Boston is expected to achieve an uncommon feat on this Saturday as warm weather surges through the region. It all begins with high temperatures expected to climb into the low 80s across much of the region! You’ll feel the breeze as strong wind pulls the warmth northward. We’ll get additional warming as the air rises over the hills and heats up on it’s way back down - we call this downsloping.

Interestingly, Boston’s previous high temperature for the year is only 69 degrees (April 11th). Assuming Boston reaches 80 degrees today, it would be the 2nd time in 20 years that the city experiences an 80-degree day before its first 70-degree day. Why have spring when you can have summer!?

HOLIDAY WEATHER

Eastern Sunday is expected to be another nice day with temperatures likely to start off around 50 degrees. Expect it to be dry and breezy with plenty of sun. Afternoon highs will eventually climb to the low to mid 60s, but it will be noticeably cooler than the summer-like warmth of Saturday.

Marathon Monday will be almost a repeat of the day prior, but with a few small changes. The breeze, first off, will be much more tame. While you’ll still feel some wind, it will not be a nuisance. Temperatures will also tick up a couple degrees. While it may be a warm one for running, it will be a great day to be a spectator - just grab a light jacket and some sunglasses!
