Thunderstorms Hit Massachusetts This Weekend

Massachusetts will see a shift from hot, dry heat to wet and windy weather over the next few days. Friday’s temperature will stay near 90 degrees, but clouds will creep in as humidity climbs, turning the sky into a partly cloudy look. Nighttime lows stay warm, with most areas seeing temperatures in the mid‑60s. Saturday starts off dry and sunny. The heat will peak in the upper 80s, making it a good day for outdoor activities like soccer or the Boston Pride parade that begins at 11 a. m. However, by mid‑afternoon the weather will change. Mobile alerts should be enabled after 2 p. m. because scattered thunderstorms are expected across northern and western New England. Boston will feel the storms between 4 p. m. and 8 p. m. , with showers lingering until about 10 p. m. Winds may be strong enough to cause damage, and small hail could trigger watches or warnings.Cape Cod might experience the strongest storms from 6 p. m. to 10 p. m. , after which the weather will clear and move out to sea. Overnight, humidity stays high and fog may appear in some areas. Sunday brings a chance of rain again. The morning remains dry, with temperatures in the 70s and rising cloud cover. From noon to 5 p. m. , scattered showers and occasional thunder will appear, so an umbrella is recommended. The evening clears up, and the next week’s weather improves: humidity drops and highs stay comfortable in the 70s on Monday and Tuesday.
