Friday Update: Weekend Forecast / Look Into Next Week

My apologies for the late update. I know many of you have been looking forward to a weekend forecast update. I wrote one earlier that was lost 1 second before upload, so this is take 2!

Boston Area Discussion: The heat of yesterday is a memory. Winds have shifted to northeast during the day today, but lingering moisture and a disturbance passing by, along with the push of cooler air, have all combined to result in a lot of clouds popping up. Winds will continue onshore tonight into Saturday, with clouds dominant, and cooler temperatures. An approaching warm front will set off areas of rain, but these are expected to stay mainly west and north of Boston, possibly even outside the 128/495 belt for much of the day and evening Saturday. A finger of rain may extend down into Metro Boston for a brief time on Saturday, but most areas in the immediate Boston area and on south and east will remain dry during the day and evening hours. Later at night, a more concentrated area of showers and possible thunderstorms will cross much of the region, but this should be on the exit by mid morning Sunday. It is a close call, but right now I am going with the warm front pushing all the way through the Boston area during late Sunday morning. This would put an end to the shower activity and even allow some sun to develop. Temperatures would warm well into the 70s where there is enough sun, and even touch 80 in a few locations, in contrast to the 60s that we would hold onto if the front remained to the south and west and we stayed cloudy & showery. A cold front will come along from the west by Sunday evening, setting off another round of showers and thunderstorms. Check later updates for the timing on these as the event gets closer.

Boston Area Forecast through the weekend…

SATURDAY NIGHT: Mostly cloudy. Chance of light rain north and west of Boston early. Showers and thunderstorms developing from west to east later on, mostly after 11PM. Low 60 to 65. Wind SE around 10 mph.

SUNDAY: Cloudy with showers and thunderstorms likely until mid morning, ending west to east, then becoming partly sunny midday and afternoon. Heavier clouds may return from west to east by evening with a chance of another round of showers/thunderstorms. High 75 to 80, but cooler along most coastal areas. Wind variable around 10 mph early, becoming SW and increasing to 10 to 20 mph in the afternoon.

  1. Thanks TK.

    Any chance for Severe Weather on Sunday after the warm front pushes through?

    Just wondering out loud.

    1. We’ll have to watch for it. Cannot rule it out. Too early to figure out details on that kind of thing but I would certainly leave the possibility of severe storms on the table for any areas that get into the warm sector long enough.

    2. The pile is overon flutie pass by the AMC theatre between shoppers world and natick collections. I watched it all wintermy husband and I wondered if it would still be there in august. We may not have been far off

  3. Just visited the WBZ blog for the first time in many days. Nice to see the troll is still exercising his fingers there. 😛

  4. The trolls are still there on the BZ blog but I have noticed they are not making as many appearances as a couple months ago.
    Early thinking Sunday Thunderstorm Index is a 1 which is MINOR but that could bump up if it looks like severe storms are possible.

  5. Big game coming up for Bruins as they go for a 3-2 lead in series.
    Going with the Bruins in this one with a final score of 3-1

  7. I’m not minding the clouds today. Hopefully, its not ruining a lot of plans. The benefit is to be able to be outside without fear of sunburn or sweltering. Have a good day everyone !

  8. We are not minding the rain either. I just put the first pirates in to watch and the house is shaking with the sound. I also hope not too many plans are spoiled.
