Boston weather today is sunny and 57°F with light northeast winds of 2 to 10 mph—a beautiful spring day perfect for getting outside before the rain arrives midweek.
This morning’s high-pressure ridge is delivering clear skies across the city, though you’ll notice it’s a bit cooler than recent days thanks to that stiff onshore flow pushing in from the northeast. If you’re heading to the waterfront—whether that’s the Harborwalk, Boston Common, or out to the Charles River Esplanade—bring a light jacket. Inland areas like Cambridge and the CT Valley will climb into the low 60s, but along the coast and Cape Cod, expect to stay in the upper 40s to low 50s. This is ideal weather for a round of golf; if you’re thinking about hitting the links, now’s the time—the adidas Samba Spikeless Golf Shoes Half Off at $42 are a solid deal for spring play.
Tonight’s Celtics action: The Boston Celtics vs. Philadelphia 76ers (Round 1, Home Game 3) tips off at TD Garden this evening, and you’ll have pleasant conditions heading into the arena. It’s mostly cloudy tonight with lows around 43°F—no weather concerns for fans heading downtown. Grab Official team gear on Fanatics to show your support, or Get tickets on SeatGeek if you’re still looking to join the playoff crowd.
However, enjoy today’s sunshine while it lasts. Wednesday afternoon brings a 30% chance of rain showers after 1 PM, and Wednesday night into Thursday turns significantly wetter—our National Weather Service forecasters have increased rainfall amounts, with an 80% chance of showers Wednesday night and a 95% chance Thursday. This will be a soaking rain event, so plan indoor activities for Thursday if possible. If you’re heading to the Dethklok & Amon Amarth: The Amonklok Conquest concert at MGM Music Hall at Fenway on Wednesday, April 29, bring an umbrella and waterproof jacket. Grab an umbrella base 50 lb to secure any outdoor setup, and consider a Dethklok t-shirt to commemorate the show—you can find Find tickets on StubHub for any remaining seats.
For tonight, fire up the grill while you can. A simple pasta dinner with grilled vegetables pairs perfectly with this mild evening—order groceries on Amazon to grab fresh produce and proteins, including Amazon Fresh groceries for quick delivery to your door.
Looking ahead: Friday through the weekend stays cool and unsettled with that upper-level low keeping us in the 50s. The Boston Red Sox vs. Houston Astros on Friday, May 1 at Fenway Park will be chilly and potentially damp—bring layers and a portable propane grill if you’re tailgating beforehand. The Bruins Rd 1 Hm Gm 3 vs. Buffalo Sabres on May 1 at TD Garden will be indoors and cozy, so grab Official team gear on Fanatics before puck drop.
Bottom line: Enjoy today’s sunshine. Rain moves in Wednesday and peaks Thursday—plan accordingly and stay weather-aware.
