Boston, MA – A warming trend is expected across Massachusetts early this week before rain arrives Thursday.
According to the National Weather Service in Boston, temperatures will climb well above normal through midweek, with many locations reaching into the 60s by Tuesday and some inland areas potentially nearing 70 degrees.
Forecasters say Monday will remain mostly sunny, with highs generally between the mid-50s and low 60s, though coastal communities may stay cooler due to onshore winds. The warming trend continues Tuesday with sunny skies and mild conditions across much of the region.
Weather conditions are expected to shift beginning Wednesday, when scattered showers may develop as the pattern becomes more unsettled.
The National Weather Service says Thursday is likely to bring the most widespread rainfall, along with breezy conditions. Higher elevations could briefly see rain mixing with snow later in the day, though most areas are expected to experience rain.
Temperatures are projected to cool behind a passing cold front by Friday, with highs falling into the low to mid-40s. Forecasters say precipitation may linger in some areas as rain or snow showers as the colder air moves in.
The warm start to the week may bring a brief taste of spring before the return of cooler conditions heading into the weekend.
For commuters and students across the Boston area, the changing pattern means dry travel early in the week but potentially wet roads during the Thursday commute.
Residents are encouraged to monitor updated forecasts as the midweek system approaches.
