The weekend’s rain may continue intermittently through the Juneteenth holiday and the following day, but the sun will come out in time for a mostly dry and comfortable close to the short work week, according to the National Weather Service.
Kevin Cadima, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service, told the Herald that rain could continue to splutter off and on while the sun stays hidden through much of Monday and Tuesday, but not so much you will need to cancel any outdoor holiday plans.
“It looks like this unsettled pattern will continue into Tuesday with a risk of, not a washout, but clouds and a shower here or there,” Cadima said.
Monday will see a high of 69 with a light breeze and clouds, before dipping into the upper 50’s early Tuesday morning, when patches of fog are expected until 7 a.m.
Chances of rain increase to 30% after 10 a.m. Tuesday, though the high and low temperatures and wind will match Monday’s about 2-degrees-below normal cool. Rain chances dip to 20% but remain though the night.
Things begin to turn around Wednesday, when Boston will see mostly clear skies, a high of 75 and less than 10 mile-per-hour winds, before temps drop 20-degrees again that evening.
Clouds will disappear and temperatures will jump into the upper 80’s to finish off the holiday week, and Cadima said the last two business days are probably the best of those coming as far as the weather is concerned.
“There’s a warning trend at the end of the week, Thursday and Friday, and we’ll be well into the 80s with dry weather,” he said.
Rain could return for the weekend, though temps will remain in the 80s with winds just over 10 miles-per-hour.
Despite what may seem like weeks of rain, with only 18 inches measured this year the Boston region remains about 2 inches behind its annual precipitation average, Cadima said.
