Boston, Massachusetts – Showers may dampen early plans in Boston Saturday, but Memorial Day promises sunshine and mild temperatures near 69°F.
According to the National Weather Service, light rain is expected to end before 10 a.m. Saturday, giving way to partly sunny skies by afternoon with highs around 61°F. Breezy northwest winds between 7–9 mph could impact early outdoor setup for weekend events. By Sunday, Boston will see even better weather: clear skies and a high near 65°F with light winds from the north.
Memorial Day itself looks ideal for travel and grilling, with mostly sunny skies and a high near 69°F. Winds will be light, making for calm conditions on roads like I-93 and I-90 throughout the state.
Looking ahead, Tuesday continues the warming trend with highs near 73°F under sunny skies. Wednesday offers more of the same, but a slight chance of showers returns Thursday afternoon. Nights will be cool but seasonable, dipping into the upper 40s and low 50s.
For those planning barbecues, parades, or trips across Massachusetts, Saturday morning is the only hurdle. Prepare by delaying outdoor activities until after mid-morning. Keep devices charged and check local traffic alerts, especially along coastal routes where breezes may linger.
⚠️ Weather alerts remain minimal through Memorial Day, but a 30% chance of rain Thursday could shift midweek plans. Stay updated with NWS Boston for any new advisories.
