The Boston area is anticipated to kick off the week with just a few dryer days earlier than seeing bouts of wet, chillier climate because the week continues, in keeping with Nationwide Climate Service forecasts.
“For the next couple of days, there’ll be mainly dry conditions Monday and Tuesday,” stated NWS meteorologist Torry Dooley. “We have a system (Sunday) that’s going to be moving off shore towards the Gulf of Maine and then eventually out to the Canadian Maritimes, and that’s where it’ll kind of stall out for a bit.”
By Monday and Tuesday, Dooley stated, the system is anticipated to offer “mainly dry conditions,” however some “periodic cloud cover with a slight chance of a rain shower, mainly on Monday afternoon.”
The excessive temperatures Monday and Tuesday are forecast to stay within the low to mid 60s, NWS reveals. These temperatures are barely “cooler than normal,” Dooley stated, with seasonal common highs round 67 to 68 levels.
“Then as we head towards the middle part of the week we’re expecting a late spring nor’easter,” stated Dooley. “That’s going to be arriving late Wednesday into Thursday bringing periods of rain. Could be potentially heavy at times, along with gusty, northeasterly winds.”
The system is anticipated to herald some “cooler air,” Dooley stated. The excessive temperatures Wednesday and Thursday are anticipated to drop considerably to the mid-50s, NWS forecasts present.
“And for our mariners, likely hazardous boating conditions late Wednesday night through the day on Friday,” stated Dooley.
On Friday, the prospect of precipitation is anticipated to drop from Thursday, forecasts present, and the excessive temperature could climb barely to the higher 50s.
“I know a lot of people have their eyes on this weekend, because we’re going into Memorial Day weekend,” stated Dooley. “The system is probably slow to exit, so we may have lingering rain showers and cooler conditions on Saturday, with the potential for some slightly warming temperatures Sunday and into Monday.”
Excessive temperatures are preliminarily forecasted to succeed in the 60s through the weekend, NWS reveals.
Although it’s “really too tough to give a definitive answer for next Monday,” Dooley stated, “as of right now, we’re still holding on for some slight chance rain Sunday afternoon and Monday afternoon.”
