Boston, MA – Eastern Massachusetts will get a welcome break from the heat Friday, with cooler and drier air settling in across the region. Afternoon highs along the coast will hover in the mid to upper 70s, offering a refreshing change for beachgoers and commuters alike. Inland areas, particularly in the Connecticut River Valley, will stay warmer with highs in the mid to upper 80s.
According to the National Weather Service in Boston, skies will remain mostly sunny throughout the day, and humidity levels will be noticeably lower. An east to northeast breeze between 5 and 15 mph will help keep temperatures down, especially in coastal communities like Boston, Plymouth, and Cape Ann.
Travel conditions are expected to be favorable with dry roads and good visibility, making it a good day for outdoor plans. Those in the warmer inland zones, including Springfield and Hartford, should still take precautions in the heat during peak afternoon hours.
This stretch of comfortable weather is expected to continue into the weekend before warmer, more humid air makes a return early next week.
