MA Weather Forecast: For First Time In 200+ Days, Temps Hit 80

Bust out the sunglasses and use a sick day. Later this week, for the first time in more than 200 days, the thermometer is expected to hit 80 degrees - not once, but twice.

Temperatures on Wednesday and Thursday are expected to hit 80+ degrees. That would be the first 80-degree day in Boston since Oct. 1, 2017. Since then, Massachusetts has been hammered by several storms, including three major nor'easter in as many weeks. More than 1 million people lost power.

(If you're around Boston and have the day off, the Red Sox have a 1 p.m game with tickets available for less than $10 on StubHub as of Sunday.)

Friday and Saturday's temperatures are expected to come back below 80 degrees, but still rest comfortably in the high 70s.

It's welcome news for everyone, especially those in areas of the northeastern part of Massachusetts who are experiencing thunderstorms with hail Sunday afternoon.
