Residents of Boston and the surrounding communities should prepare for a wet start to the week. Tuesday brings scattered showers across the Greater Boston area, with afternoon highs in the 60s and 70s and overnight lows slipping into the 50s.

Wednesday offers a brief reprieve

Wednesday looks much drier, offering a few bright spots of sunshine throughout the day. Temperatures will climb into the low 70s, giving families a chance to enjoy outdoor activities without the threat of rain.

Thursday brings another round of rain

By Thursday, showers move back into the region, and a few pockets of heavier rain are possible. The forecast also includes a couple of thunderstorms, raising the risk of localized flooding in low‑lying areas. Highs will be in the mid‑70s.

Friday clears up

Friday’s outlook improves significantly, with partly cloudy skies and highs near the low 80s. The drying trend sets the stage for the upcoming holiday weekend.

Labor Day weekend outlook

Looking ahead to the Labor Day holiday, the forecast remains favorable. Saturday and Sunday are expected to be partly cloudy, with a chance of a spotty shower on Saturday but rain remaining the exception rather than the rule. Temperatures will stay comfortably in the 70s. Monday should be mostly sunny, providing a pleasant end to the long weekend.

Overall, the week’s weather pattern reflects a typical early‑fall transition for New England, with the autumnal equinox still a week away on September 22. Residents are encouraged to stay informed of any updates, especially if thunderstorms develop Thursday, and to plan outdoor activities for Wednesday and the Labor Day weekend when conditions are most favorable.
