Massachusetts is set for a pleasant week of mostly sunny skies and comfortable temperatures in the low to mid-70s. The stretch will feel like classic early fall, though a chance of midweek showers could affect parts of coastal Massachusetts, especially Cape Cod and the Islands.
Sunny Start to the Week
According to the National Weather Service in Boston, dry and bright weather will continue through Tuesday. Daytime highs will range from 70 to 75 degrees, while evenings will feel cooler, dipping into the 50s. This makes for perfect conditions for commuters and outdoor plans in Boston, Worcester, and Springfield.
Midweek Showers Near the Coast
By Wednesday night into Thursday, a low-pressure system offshore could bring scattered showers to southeast Massachusetts. Cape Cod, Martha’s Vineyard, and Nantucket have the highest chances of rain, while most inland areas are likely to stay dry. Travelers heading toward coastal areas should prepare for brief wet weather that may impact ferry schedules.
Evening Temperatures Stay Cool
Even with daytime warmth, nights will be crisp across Massachusetts. Residents are advised to keep light jackets handy, as temperatures will regularly fall into the 50s after sunset. The cool evenings add to the fall-like feel of this week’s forecast.
Outdoor Plans Look Safe for Most
For those enjoying outdoor activities, conditions should remain favorable through Friday in most of the state. Only the southeastern coastal areas may see showers interrupt late-week events. For the rest of Massachusetts, the mild and sunny stretch is expected to hold steady.
Looking Ahead
Unless rain chances grow stronger later in the week, most of Massachusetts can count on several more days of sunshine and pleasant fall temperatures. The weather pattern looks stable, keeping outdoor plans on track for much of the state.
This week in Boston brings a taste of early fall at its best—sunny afternoons, cool evenings, and just enough weather changes to keep things interesting.
