Boston's Weather: From Storms to Sunshine for the 4th

Boston, USAWed Jul 02 2025
Boston has been through a hot and stormy day, but things are looking up for the holiday weekend. The weather is changing, and not all at once. A cold front is moving in, bringing clouds and a few showers to the Cape and Islands. The rest of Greater Boston will see some sunshine peeking through the clouds. But don't expect it to feel cooler right away. Temperatures will still be in the mid to upper 80s, and it will drop to the upper 60s at night. On Thursday, expect a mix of sun and clouds with a chance of a stray shower or storm in the afternoon. It will still be hot, but the humidity will start to drop. The best part is yet to come. The 4th of July is looking great! Sunny skies and lower humidity will make it feel less hot, with highs in the low to mid 80s. Fireworks events Friday night will have mostly clear skies and temperatures in the 70s. Saturday will be similar, with highs in the mid 80s and low humidity under mostly sunny skies. But all good things must come to an end. By Sunday, the heat and humidity will be back, with highs in the low 90s and partly cloudy skies. Next week, expect more showers and storms starting on Tuesday. It's a good idea to stay updated on the weather. The forecast can change, and it's important to be prepared. Whether you're planning a picnic, a beach day, or a fireworks show, keep an eye on the weather and make the most of the holiday weekend.
