Boston, MA – New England residents can expect a long stretch of dry, sunny weather this week before cooler temperatures arrive by mid-week, according to the National Weather Service (NWS) in Boston.
Forecasters say highs will start in the 70s Monday and Tuesday, with comfortable evenings in the 50s. By Wednesday, a noticeable dip is expected, with highs near 60 degrees and nighttime lows dropping into the 40s. The cooler air will stick around into Thursday and Friday, keeping highs in the upper 50s to lower 60s.
According to the NWS, this pattern brings one of the first real hints of fall across Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and Connecticut. The stretch of dry weather is expected to continue into the upcoming weekend, offering favorable conditions for outdoor activities, leaf-peeping, and fall travel.
Meteorologists note the absence of significant rainfall in the forecast, which could extend ongoing dry conditions in parts of the region. However, the clear skies and crisp air are expected to provide a classic New England autumn feel.
Drivers are advised that cooler overnight lows may also bring early morning fog in low-lying areas, especially inland valleys.
With October approaching, forecasters remind residents that average daily highs will continue to decline, making this week’s dip in temperatures a preview of the seasonal shift ahead.
