If you’ve been waiting for a significant warm-up, Saturday will certainly deliver! Highs across central and southern New England are expected to climb into the upper 70s and even over 80°F, thanks to a warm front pushing through the region tonight and setting up a strong southerly wind flow. It’ll feel more like June than April—but it’s not without a few caveats.
We’ll see some scattered showers this evening and overnight, especially across northern New England, as the warm air surges in. A few of those showers could linger into Saturday morning, but most of southern New England will dry out by mid to late morning, setting the stage for breaks of sun, soaring temps, and gusty winds.
Expect southwest winds gusting up to 30–40 mph, helping to drive that warm air northward. Saturday afternoon, a cold front approaches from the west, and that brings the potential for scattered showers and isolated thunderstorms, especially during the late afternoon and evening hours. Keep the 1DegreeOutside app handy with alerts enabled—you’ll want to be notified if any storms approach your area during outdoor plans.
The storms will diminish quickly after sunset, making way for a much cooler—but still sunny—Easter Sunday. Temperatures will be about 20° cooler, with highs in the 50s to low 60s, and a brisk northwest wind that could gust to 40+ mph in northern areas. Even so, Sunday will be dry and pleasant for any Easter egg hunts or family gatherings.
Looking ahead to Marathon Monday, the forecast is shaping up beautifully: sun to clouds, dry through most of the day, and highs near 60 along the route. Runners will start the morning in the low 40s, and finish with a light sea breeze that may cool things slightly in Boston, but overall conditions are ideal—low humidity, light wind, and no rain until Monday evening.
Tuesday brings scattered showers, but it’s not a washout, and the rest of the week looks mild with highs in the 60s and 70s.
