Jumping from mild spring to summer warmth in just a few days? That seems to be about par for the course in New England.

The National Weather Service is forecasting that temperatures will drastically climb this week, with summerlike record-high temps in the 80s possible ahead of the weekend.

“It will be getting pretty warm this week,” Bill Simpson, meteorologist at the National Weather Service’s Boston office, told the Herald on Sunday. “Definitely above average.”

In addition to the warming temps, the mid-April week should also be dry. The bone dry and warmer conditions will raise fire weather concerns, but they will be particularly elevated with breezy conditions that are expected on Tuesday and Wednesday.

The workweek should start off mild in the low 60s amid mostly sunny conditions on Monday. Then temps should rise into the low 70s on Tuesday, with similar weather on Wednesday.

The real warm-up looks to be Thursday into Friday, with record-high temps possible Friday. Thursday’s temps should be in the upper 70s, followed by the low 80s on Friday.

“The record-high for Friday in Boston (April 14) is 81 degrees, so there’s a certainly a good chance for the record,” Simpson said.

“As always, if the sea breeze kicks in, that could knock down the temperatures,” he added.

Worcester’s record-high temps for April 14 is 79 degrees, and that record will certainly be in jeopardy for the interior city away from the coast.

Because of the prolonged dry spell this week, fire weather concerns will go up. The minimum relative humidity will be 20% to 25% on Monday, 25% to 30% on Tuesday, and 30% to 35% percent on Wednesday.

“However, our main concern for significantly increased potential for fire spread will be Tue and Wed, when WSW to WNW winds gust to 20-30 mph, mainly during the afternoon hours,” reads the National Weather Service forecast discussion. “We will be monitoring for the possibility of Red Flag Warning headlines as time gets closer.”
