Boston weather today brings a chance of rain showers through the morning, with conditions clearing this afternoon as a layer of drier air filters in across New England.

Expect lingering wrap-around showers mainly across eastern Massachusetts and into the early morning hours, particularly near the coast and around the Boston Harbor area. The National Weather Service forecasts a 30% chance of precipitation before 10 AM, with conditions gradually improving by mid-morning. Highs will reach near 60°F, with breezy northwest winds at 6 to 13 mph keeping things lively as you move around the city.

If you’re heading to Fenway Park today for the Boston Red Sox vs. Houston Astros matchup, pack a packable rain jacket just in case—there’s still that morning shower chance. The game should see improving conditions as the day progresses, and afternoon temperatures will hover right around 60°F. Grab a Boston Red Sox jersey or Boston Red Sox fitted cap to show your colors, and check Get tickets on SeatGeek for any last-minute availability.

Tonight clears out nicely with mostly clear skies and lows dropping to around 44°F. West winds will ease to 6 to 10 mph, making it a pleasant evening if you’re catching the Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater at the Boch Center Wang Theatre tonight—no weather worries for that performance.

Monday looks fantastic: sunny skies, a high near 70°F, and southwest winds that’ll gust as high as 25 mph. That’s your day to get outside. If you’ve been itching to tackle yard work or hit the links, Monday is prime time. The AHL Atlantic Division Semifinal: Thunderbirds vs Bruins Game 3 at the MassMutual Center on Tuesday will also feature dry conditions heading into that evening.

For tonight’s dinner, embrace the cool, damp weather with a hearty comfort meal. A programmable slow cooker loaded with beef stew or chili will warm you right up—let it simmer while you enjoy the clearing skies. If you prefer something in a cast iron vessel, an enameled cast iron Dutch oven is perfect for a big pot of soup. Need ingredients? You can order groceries on Amazon and have everything for tonight’s dinner delivered to your door.

Looking ahead: Monday brings that beautiful 70°F sunshine, but a cold front approaches late Tuesday with a chance of showers and thunderstorms. Expect an unsettled and cooler pattern mid to late week, so enjoy the dry stretch while it lasts.
