Temperatures could reach as high as 68 degrees on Tuesday, according to National Weather Service forecasters. Wednesday could see a high of 66 degrees, Thursday a high of 62 degrees, and Friday a high of 67 degrees.
This week the region’s wind pattern is the main factor contributing towards the warmer temperatures. The jet stream has moved further north, allowing warmer air from the south to push up into New England, NWS Meteorologist Kyle Pederson said.
There is a slight chance for rain to crash the party on Tuesday, but skies should be clear for the rest of the week after that.
