Greater Boston experienced mild temperatures on Thursday under mostly sunny skies. Coastal areas were cooler due to onshore air.
On Friday, temperatures are forecast to rise to highs in the mid-60s inland and mid-50s coastal. Increasing clouds are anticipated throughout Friday morning. A low-pressure system and cold front will approach in the afternoon, bringing scattered to steady showers to the region. Showers are projected to arrive in Greater Boston and most of Southern New England near or after midnight.
Winds will increase ahead of the front with southerly gusts in the afternoon and evening. Overnight lows on Friday night will be mild, with early Saturday morning temperatures cooler.
High pressure will build over the region on Saturday, leading to mostly sunny skies and breezy conditions. Highs will reach the upper 50s, though coastal areas will be cooler. Northern areas may see a few flurries or sprinkles.
Sunday will feature a blend of sun and clouds as high pressure moves offshore, introducing a southerly flow and increased moisture. Highs are expected in the mid- to upper 50s across Southern New England, with coastal areas cooler. A warm front will bring light rain to Northern New England late Sunday evening, with minimal impact south of Boston.
