It may seem hard to believe, but 90-degree temperatures may only be a few days away.

The National Weather Service is predicting mostly sunny skies with highs in the low 90s Thursday afternoon for large areas of Massachusetts.

According to the service, Thursday’s temps may even be record-setting.

After the rain-soaked Mother’s Day weekend, Massachusetts residents should also get a reprieve from wet weather until Sunday, according to the service’s Monday afternoon seven-day forecast.
