Bostonians kicked off the week under a mostly sunny sky, basking in a steady 62 degrees, per the National Weather Service; however, the city is set to see a dip in temperature and an increase in cloud cover as the week advances.

Tonight, the forecast predicts mostly cloudy skies with a low around 49, winds shifting from south to east whereas Tuesday's outlook sees mostly cloudy skies with a high near 53, an east wind chilling the air between 8 and 10 mph, the National Weather Service reports.

Rain is likely to visit Tuesday night, especially around 11pm to midnight, with the chance of precipitation pegged at 60 percent; Wednesday continues the wet trend, offering a 40 percent chance of showers before the afternoon, and a high merely reaching 54 amid cloudy echoes.

After a rather gray and damp midweek, Bostonians can expect a weather rebound on Thursday with forecasts showing partly sunny skies and a high pushing up to the seasonal 66 degrees, by Friday those umbrellas may need to make a reappearance as there's a likelihood of showers and mostly cloudy conditions persist, according to a report from NBC Boston.

The weekend doesn't promise a break from the damp drudgery; Saturday and Sunday both have potential for showers amidst partly sunny and mostly cloudy patches, the mercury hovering in the low 60s, so those in Boston might want to keep rain gear handy for any weekend outings.
