The Boston area is set to start off the week with a warmer Veterans Day before heading into another chilly fall week.
“For anybody that is looking to get outside for Veterans Day, it is going to be a fairly nice day,” said National Weather Service meteorologist Bryce Williams. “We are going to see the rain exiting by sunrise or slightly just before that. So much of the day should be sunny. And highs in the upper 60s should be fairly pleasant.”
The forecast for Veterans Day in Boston show a high of 67 degrees, warming up from the weekend, according to NWS. The city is likely to see rain before 8 a.m., cloudy skies set to gradually turn sunny and a morning breeze that should ease heading into the afternoon, forecasts show.
On Tuesday, the high is predicted to drop back into the lower 50s and more seasonable temperatures.
“We’ll have highs back into the upper 40s by Wednesday, and those are going to stick around with us through the rest of the of the week, before we start to get a little bit warmer for the weekend,” Williams said.
The week is expected to remain relatively dry, NWS forecasts show, with some rain Sunday night up to sunrise Monday and another chance of precipitation returning on Friday.
“We’re not expecting a whole lot of rain out of that, unfortunately for our fire situation,” Williams said, “but anything, any little bit can help.”
Many counties in Massachusetts and surrounding New England states, including parts of Suffolk, Middlesex and Norfolk, fell under a Red Flag Warning again on Sunday, as dry and windy fire conditions continue throughout the region.
Due to the rain expected and lower wind heading into Veterans Day, Williams said as of Sunday afternoon, NWS did not expect to reissue the Red Flag Warning on Monday. Going forward into the week, he added, the weather service plans to “reevaluate day by day.”
“We are going to be breezy again on Tuesday, along with no rain, so there’s potential that there could be another Red Flag Warning needed for Tuesday, but that’ll be decided probably by Monday afternoon,” Williams said.
