Any precipitation will be light, though commuters may face slick roads into early Thursday. East winds will remain calm, shifting northeasterly by Thursday at 10 to 13 mph.
By Friday, skies clear and temperatures climb to 77 degrees in Boston. The warmth builds further over the weekend, with highs reaching 82 on Saturday under full sun. Northeastern and coastal towns may see stronger breezes, but overall, conditions favor outdoor plans.
