New York, Boston Weather Forecast: Temperatures Likely to Soar Midweek as Unofficial Summer Begins

Northeast residents can expect possible hotter temperatures this week, particularly in portions of Boston and New York City. Additionally, warmer temperatures indicate the unofficial start of summer in the U.S.

In May, parts of the U.S. experienced challenging weather conditions, from isolated tornadoes, thunderstorms, heavy rain, and flooding. In the Northeast, the region is no stranger to flooding rainfall.

However, this week's weather will be different in the Northeast, as summerlike temperatures or warmth could unfold. While the weather outlook is ideal for outdoor plans, people should keep alert for changing weather.

In an NWS Weather Prediction Center report, hotter temperatures could unload in South Florida and southern Texas, including in the southern High Plains.
