Memorial Day Weekend weather started cool and cloudy. See what the pick of the weekend is for Boston.
Memorial Day weekend is widely thought of as the unofficial start of the summer season in Massachusetts. The pilgrimage to Cape Cod from Boston and beyond begins, and the backyard barbeque season gets in full swing.
Naturally, the weather plays a vital role in the level of fun and games that can be enjoyed this weekend. If you've got outdoor plans, you're going to want to read on as we have a very changeable forecast from day to day.
Memorial Day forecast
The pick of the weekend!
We will start out mostly sunny and see some building clouds by midday and afternoon. Most will stay dry Monday, but a few quick-hitting, isolated showers can't be ruled out. Temperatures will be close to average, topping out near 70 degrees.
We expect more sunshine and warmer temperatures than we've had all weekend. However, if we did see rain Monday, the most likely time would be in the afternoon.
Holiday weekend events
Lots of fun stuff going on around New England this weekend!
The Sox are in town through Sunday. I wouldn't want to have been sitting in the bleachers on Friday with a cold rain falling at times and a gusty wind in your face! Saturday's game was delayed a few minutes due to the rain and the weather was cool. Sunday is the pick of the weekend.
Cape Cod and the Islands
Finally, for those headed for Cape Cod and the Islands...
Pretty typical weather down there for May. Remember that the water temperatures this time of year are only around 60 degrees, so the land temperatures will reflect that.
Looking for a beach day? Well, I suppose you could give it a shot on Monday, but I'd save the bathing suits for another time.
