Boston, Mass. – A sharp midweek cooldown will bring a taste of fall across southern New England before warmer air surges back by the weekend.
According to the National Weather Service in Boston, temperatures in Boston will sink to just 59 degrees on Thursday, the lowest point of the week, before climbing back to the mid-70s by Saturday and Sunday. Hartford follows a similar swing, bottoming out at 63 on Wednesday before rebounding to near 79 through the weekend. Providence also dips to the low 60s midweek before warming steadily to 77 by Sunday.
The rapid temperature shift could catch commuters off guard, with cooler mornings and evenings making for jacket weather midweek, especially for early risers. Those planning outdoor activities should prepare for chilly conditions Wednesday and Thursday, followed by comfortable late-week warmth.
The weekend rebound should bring more favorable conditions for fall festivals, outdoor dining, and travel across Massachusetts, Connecticut, and Rhode Island.
Cooler air settles in Wednesday through Thursday, with a steady warm-up expected into Sunday. More updates are likely as the National Weather Service tracks shifting air patterns across New England.
