‘A lot more like fall’
Cooler temps and bouts of rainy weather mean it’s going to finally staring to feel a lot more like fall in Boston.
Meteorologists are forecasting temperatures dipping into 40s and low 50s overnight with highs barely climbing into the 60s on some days.
“This week we will definitely see cool enough weather where people will start to take their ACs out of their windows. It will be feeling a lot more like fall by the mid-to-later half of week,” said Torry Gaucher, a meteorologist in the National Weather Service’s Boston office.
After Sunday’s breezy but sunny September stunner, today will be the last warm day, with abundant sunshine for a little while. High temps should be in the high 70s, with cooler temps and sea breezes along the coast.
Come Tuesday, Gaucher said a cold front from the south with come through, bringing showers and cooler temps.
Wednesday is predicted to be dry, but as another cool front from northern Quebec comes through, temperatures won’t climb above the mid-60s.
The next chance for rain showers is on Thursday, but forecasters think the rain should clear up by nighttime, leading into a sunny and mild Friday. Saturday brings the threat of more brief showers or rainstorms, however.
Gaucher said the temps are a bit on the low side for Boston which generally sees temperatures around 70 degrees at this time of year.
Meteorologists are also keeping an eye on Category 4 Hurricane Sam in the Atlantic Ocean, which is expected to slowly weaken over the next couple of days, while remaining a major hurricane. The hurricane is expected to take a turn to the northwest making it less threatening for the U.S.
Two other tropical depressions are potentially forming in the Atlantic which could be cause for concern along the coast depending on their course.
