Weekend weather in Boston: rain now, sun later

Boston is stuck in a wet spell this week, with scattered showers keeping things damp but not exactly solving the drought. The city won’t get much relief today, but every little drop counts. Light rain might hang around into tonight, yet skies should clear by Friday morning. Temperatures today will hover around the mid-50s, dropping to the mid-40s overnight.Friday turns brighter, with sunshine pushing highs into the lower 60s. A brisk west wind could pick up by afternoon, adding a cool edge to the day. Clouds return Friday night, setting the stage for more weekend rain—but don’t cancel plans just yet. The forecast suggests only a few stray showers on Saturday, possibly more on Sunday, especially in the southeast. Some models hint Boston might get wetter by Sunday, so keep an eye on updates. Weekend highs will stay in the upper 50s to low 60s, making it a mixed bag for outdoor plans. Next week looks warmer, climbing into the mid-60s on Monday and reaching the low 70s by Tuesday and Wednesday. The shift from damp to dry is gradual, but at least the sun is making an effort.
