After a challenging spell of heat and humidity, the weather is set to improve dramatically, especially for the upcoming weekend.
As we approach Friday, a pleasant drop in humidity will start to make its way into the region beginning in the morning.
Even residents of Cape Cod, who may awaken to slightly muggy conditions, can expect the air to feel significantly drier by mid- to late afternoon.
Despite warm temperatures expected to reach into the 80s in the Boston area, the notable decrease in humidity will create a delightful summer atmosphere.
Beachgoers can look forward to a fantastic day, enjoying warm sunshine without the interference of high winds.
As night falls on Friday, the arrival of drier air will allow temperatures to cool off, making this one of the first weekends in a while where leaving windows open at night is a comfortable option.
On Saturday morning, many areas will wake up to temperatures ranging from the upper 50s to near 60 degrees.
The day ahead promises to be a picture-perfect July experience, with temperatures hovering in the lower 80s and low humidity levels adding to the joy.
As the sun beats down, the reduced dew points may leave swimmers feeling a bit chilly as the water evaporates from their skin, a phenomenon less noticeable in more humid conditions.
While Saturday night will not offer the same cooler temperatures as Friday night due to incoming humidity, nighttime temperatures will remain in the 60s, possibly reaching near 70 degrees.
Sunday will see changes once again, as a frontal system moves in, bringing increased cloudiness and several hours of humidity.
Expect some showers to occur primarily during the morning hours, although it is likely most of the area will experience only minimal rain early in the day.
By mid-afternoon, any lingering showers are expected to dissipate, allowing for a return to the drier air and sunshine later in the day.
This week’s forecast points to a generally pleasant start for the upcoming weekdays, particularly as July often presents some of the best vacation conditions of the year.
In summary, Friday’s weather is looking bright for the Greater Boston area.
Residents can anticipate warm sunshine with temperatures reaching into the 80s.
For Southeastern Massachusetts, Friday will be marked by stunning weather featuring temperatures in the lower to middle 80s away from the coastline, complemented by abundant sunshine.
Central and Western Massachusetts will also see improved conditions, with lower humidity contributing to warm temperatures that will stay in the lower 80s on Friday and approach the 80-degree mark on Saturday, all under sunny skies.
The Cape and Islands can expect sunshine both Friday and Saturday, with temperatures ranging from the upper 70s to lower 80s, particularly when humidity levels drop significantly on Friday afternoon into Saturday.
Rhode Island will mirror this weather pattern, experiencing bright sunshine and temperature highs in the lower to mid-80s on Friday, with beaches enjoying dry, sunny days.
Finally, New Hampshire is set to bask in comfortable temperatures near 80 on both Friday and Saturday, accompanied by plentiful sunshine throughout the days.
Stay tuned for updates on this beautiful weekend forecast, which promises to be a welcome reprieve from the recent heat.
