Boston’s Cool Weekend: No Showers in Sight

The forecast for Boston this weekend shows a dip in temperatures, but no rain to wash it away. The city will stay dry while the air feels a bit chilly, thanks to onshore breezes that keep things cool. Today is set to be the coldest of the two days, and tomorrow should feel a little warmer. A weather system that could bring showers to New England will try to move in later today. It might reach Connecticut and western Massachusetts late tonight, but a strong high‑pressure block stretching from New England to Greenland will likely keep the rain out of central and eastern Massachusetts over the weekend. That same block will also make today slightly cloudier than tomorrow.

The blocking pattern is expected to break down early next week, allowing for clearer skies and drier conditions through at least Tuesday. After that, the weather system will slowly start to bring rain again. The first real rainfall is now expected around Wednesday night, after which there will be a brief dry spell on Friday before a larger storm arrives next weekend. So, for those planning outdoor activities, the week ahead offers cool, dry weather—just remember to dress warmly and enjoy the sunny days while they last.
