Boston is expected to see an increasing stretch of warm weather and a few rainy days in the upcoming week, according to National Weather Service forecasts.

“No extreme heat, no extreme cold, no real severe weather potential or anything,” said National Weather Service meteorologist Bryce Williams. “So should be a pretty benign week of weather.”

Coming out of the first extreme heat spike of the season late in the last week and then a cooler weekend, Boston is forecasted to kick off the week with a cooler high in the upper 60s and a low in the 50s, NWS states.

Skies are expected to be mostly cloudy Monday. There may be a slight chance of showers in the morning before noon, then again in the later afternoon and heading into the nighttime, NWS forecasts.

“Looking at precipitation, we’re looking at being mostly dry on Monday,” said Williams. “Tuesday is going to be the wet day of the week. So we’re going to have showers, and potential for rumble of thunder or two, but mostly showers possible throughout all of Tuesday.”

Tuesday is expected to start off with patchy fog in the morning, forecasts show. The new rainfall is expected to be between a tenth and quarter of an inch, with “higher amounts possible in thunderstorms,” NWS states.

The weather is expected to warm slightly on Tuesday, NWS forecasts, with a high in the low 70s.

“Then we’ll dry out Wednesday and Thursday, and that’s actually going to be our warmest days of the week as well,” said Williams. “So it’ll be dry and getting up into the 80s, well into the 80s for Wednesday and Thursday.”

Skies are likely to remain sunny and clear both days through the midweek, NWS forecasts show, with lows down to 60s in the nighttime.

On Friday, temperatures are expected to dip slightly to the high 70s, NWS states, and skies are forecasted to be partly sunny.

Heading into the weekend and Boston Pride parade on Saturday, the weather is preliminarily forecasted to be slightly cooler, with highs in the lower 70s, NWS shows. Skies may take a cloudier turn.

“Unfortunately, it still looks like we’re going to see our next chance of showers coming in around the next weekend,” said Williams. “It’s still a little bit far out to say for sure, but that’s what we’re tracking right now, is maybe some rain chances on Saturday.”
