After a short cold burst, the Greater Boston area is set to see temperatures rise again to a sunny, nice late summer week.

“If you are a fan of sunny and dry conditions, you’re in luck,” said National Weather Service meteorologist Caitlyn Mensch. “That is exactly what we’re expecting for the next week.”

The Boston area will start the week with sunny and highs in the mid- to high 70s, according to NWS forecasts, with light winds blowing through. Conditions are predicted to remain clear or mostly clear through Friday, making for a good time to get outside and enjoy the end of summer.

The area saw a cold front move in the prior weekend which dipped temperatures into chillier fall weather in the 50s and 60s through Sunday.

“But as we go through Monday, through the rest of the week, we’re going to have high pressure in place,” said Mensch. “And that’s going to be resulting in those dry conditions, as well as warming temperatures throughout the week.”

Temperatures are expected to remain mostly “normal for this time of year,” Mensch said, in the 60s and 70s range through midweek. The region is expected to heat up heading into next weekend, forecasts predicted, and Thursday and Friday may see highs in the mid- to upper 80s.

“If it does end up panning out that we have mid-80s on Friday, that’s almost 10 degrees above normal,” said Mensch. “But, it is pretty far off at this point. We’ll help see what happens.”
