Boston residents, get ready for a mixed bag of weather to kick off the work week! Monday brings the chance of spotty showers and some humidity, but don't despair – a beautiful stretch of weather is on the horizon for the rest of the week.
Monday's Forecast: Humidity and Scattered Showers
A cold front approaching from the west will bring back the humidity on Monday. Expect dew points to be relatively high throughout the day, with winds coming from the south-southwest. High temperatures will reach the low 80s across Boston.
As the front gets closer, there's a chance of showers or even a thunderstorm developing in the afternoon and evening. However, these are not expected to produce significant rainfall or severe weather. Expect a mix of clouds and sunshine when it's not raining.
Gardeners, don't rely on the rainfall, as it will be widely scattered and many areas may miss the showers altogether.
Cape Cod and the Islands: A Wet Start
A weak area of low pressure will move just east of Cape Cod on Monday morning. This could bring some rain, possibly even downpours, to Nantucket, Martha’s Vineyard, and Cape Cod. If you're vacationing there, expect a somewhat unsettled start to the week.
A Beautiful Week Ahead
The good news is that the humidity will be pushed out to sea Monday night, ushering in a beautiful stretch of weather for the rest of the week. From Tuesday through the upcoming weekend, temperatures will be mostly in the mid- to upper 70s. Enjoy the sunshine!
