Wednesday promises to bring bright sunshine and a welcome return of 80-degree temperatures as high pressure settles over the region.
Following the passage of Tuesday’s cold front, a pocket of high pressure is now developing to the southwest of New England, creating a shift in the weather pattern that promises mostly sunny skies, dry air, and temperatures rising back into the 80s.
Residents can expect mid to upper 60s in the morning, which may prompt some to opt for a vest or light pullover—though that will not be necessary for long.
As the day progresses, highs will likely climb into the lower to mid-80s across Greater Boston, aided by a westerly flow that may slow down the typical afternoon sea breeze, giving both the North Shore and South Shore a good chance to break the 80-degree mark.
While the forecast is generally positive, there are indications of a very light haze in the afternoon caused by smoke from Canadian wildfires, which has drifted back into the region.
However, the present high pressure system is weaker than the one experienced last week, meaning this haze will remain suspended higher in the atmosphere and should not impact day-to-day activities.
For those planning to enjoy outdoor activities on Wednesday night, such as catching a game at Fenway Park while the Red Sox face off against the Rays, weather conditions will be favorable.
Expect partly to mostly clear skies with overnight lows settling in the upper 60s.
Despite the pleasant outlook for Wednesday and the following days, the meteorological perspective is less optimistic when looking ahead to the weekend.
Boston has endured an unrelenting trend of rainy weekends, with 13 consecutive weekends affected by rainfall. Unfortunately, the forecast suggests that this pattern may continue.
Current predictions indicate that a frontal boundary will stall over Southern New England by Saturday morning, leading to the potential for scattered showers as a weak energy system affects the area.
While there is still a chance that the forecast may change in the coming days, trends show a notable consistency in the likelihood of raindrops returning to Boston.
Going back to the short-term outlook, today’s weather will feature bright skies and a thin layer of haze overhead.
Temperatures across Greater Boston are anticipated to reach the low to mid-80s, with a light westerly breeze around 10 mph and perhaps a few clouds sneaking in later.
After dark, the skies are expected to remain mostly clear, with overnight lows in the upper 60s.
In Southeastern Massachusetts, the forecast resembles that of Greater Boston, with mostly sunny conditions prevailing.
Temperatures will vary from upper 70s along the immediate coast to the lower 80s for inland areas, with some very light haze expected in the afternoon.
As the night unfolds, clear skies will persist and lows will drop to the mid-60s.
Moving towards Central and Western Massachusetts, residents can anticipate a day characterized by mostly sunny skies.
Highs are projected to reach the low to mid-80s from Worcester to Springfield, while the Berkshires will see milder temperatures in the mid to upper 70s.
There may also be some morning patches of fog in the Berkshires, but otherwise, light haze will be part of the afternoon scenario.
Once night falls, clear skies will dominate and temperatures will settle into the mid-60s.
On the Cape and Islands, the outlook is also favorable, with mostly sunny conditions and a gentle breeze of about 10 mph keeping the highs in the 70s.
Expect mostly clear skies during the nighttime hours with lows in the mid-60s.
In neighboring Rhode Island, similar sunny weather will greet residents, with highs rising into the low 80s and light haze likely throughout the afternoon.
As the sun sets, expect clear conditions and lows to the mid-60s.
In New Hampshire, the weather forecast appears mostly sunny, although a few additional clouds may appear later.
Temperatures will likely reach the upper 70s to low 80s, with an isolated sprinkle possibly occurring in northern New Hampshire, though this is deemed unlikely.
Even after the sun sets, conditions will trend toward partly to mostly clear, with lows dipping into the low 60s.
For Vermont and Maine, partly to mostly sunny skies will set the tone, with a few more clouds expected in the afternoon.
Highs are predicted to hover around 80 degrees, with a chance of a rogue sprinkle late in the day, although the majority of both states should stay dry.
Expect partially clear skies after dark, with overnight lows reaching the upper 50s and low 60s.
Although the weather ahead is promising for Wednesday, the potential for weekend rain remains a point of concern for many who have endured too many wet weekends this season.
