Boston weather: Dry, seasonable fall week headed for region

The Boston area will see less rainy, cool fall weather in the coming week, according to National Weather Service forecasts.

“We’re looking generally dry for the week upcoming,” said NWS meteorologist Matthew Belk. “Temperatures generally near or slightly above normal, especially for high temperatures. Really, the only chance that we have for some showers in the greater Boston area would be sometime, probably late week, heading in the next weekend.”

Following bouts of rain and colder weather, the Boston region is looking to see a comparably dry and mildly warmer week. Boston weather appears to be mostly cloudy for much of the week before some more sun peaks out headed into next weekend.

“Normal high temperature in Boston this time of year is 69 degrees,” Belk said. “The normal low temperature is 54 degrees.”

High temperatures range from high 60s for the beginning of the week and range higher into the low to mid 70s later towards Thursday and Friday, according to forecasts. Lows range from the low to mid 50s throughout the week.

Light to variable winds are forecasted to be felt, NWS stated, potentially further cooling off anyone looking to enjoy some outdoor fall activities.

Belk said it’s “not looking like a busy weather week at all” throughout the Boston area.

No impacts of the hurricane weather that hit the south U.S. states last week will be felt the region, Belk said.

“That pretty much dissipated over the Midwest,” said Belk. “And all the rain is being shunted towards the south courtesy of a high pressure over Southeast Canada.”
