Boston, MA – Sunshine and mild conditions will dominate southern New England through the end of the workweek, but a shift is coming by the weekend with thunderstorms and a cold front expected to move in Saturday evening.

According to the National Weather Service in Boston, highs across Massachusetts and nearby areas will climb into the upper 70s and low 80s through Friday, with Boston reaching 80°F on Thursday and Saturday. Light winds, low humidity, and fair-weather clouds will make for ideal late-summer days. However, fog may develop overnight, especially in inland valleys and low-lying areas like Worcester County and interior Connecticut.

Wednesday night lows will dip into the 50s across western and central Massachusetts, while coastal cities like New Bedford and Hyannis stay in the 60s. Visibility may be reduced during the early morning commute Thursday due to patchy fog.

The region remains quiet until Saturday, when a cold front brings a risk of scattered thunderstorms—timing is still uncertain, but most activity is expected late in the day or Saturday night. Cooler air will follow, with highs falling back into the 60s and 70s by Sunday.

More updates are expected as forecast confidence improves. Keep checking local alerts for timing on weekend storms.
