Stretch of sunny weather in Massachusetts will likely end later this week
The Boston area is enjoying several consecutive days of sunny, summer-like weather, but a wet and unsettled pattern arrives later this week. Here's the latest forecast from the WBZ NEXT Weather team, and what we can expect in June.
BOSTON - Welcome to June! June is often one of the best months to be in New England. Many times we get several comfortable days and abundant amounts of sunshine.
We also get the longest days of the year this month, peaking around the time of the summer solstice.
And, right on cue, we have started out June 2024 on a terrific note! After a spectacular weekend, the lovely weather has spilled over into the start of the workweek.
Warm weather for the next few days
Highs Monday will top 80 away from the immediate coastline and the air remains quite dry.
Tuesday will be a tad cooler, particularly along the shore with an onshore breeze.
We warm things up again on Wednesday with a wind shift to the southwest. Highs will reach the low to mid 80s with some increasing clouds later in the day.
Next chance at significant rainfall
Our next chance at any significant rainfall arrives on Thursday.
There may be periods of heavy rain/downpours during the day Thursday along with a few embedded thunderstorms.
The humidity will also be climbing later this week, getting a bit un-comfy on Thursday in particular.
Early look at weekend forecast
Looking ahead to Friday and the upcoming weekend - There will be some general "troughyness" over the northeast and that means some unsettled weather.
Not expecting any all-day washouts but, there likely will be some pop-up showers each day.
