A warm wave heads to Massachusetts after a calm weekend

Massachusetts, USASun May 17 2026
Massachusetts looks set for a weather flip after a calm weekend. The state enjoyed two sunny days with light winds and temperatures in the 70s and low 80s. Boston reached 78 on Saturday, while cities like Worcester and Springfield stayed slightly warmer. The Berkshires and Cape Cod stayed cooler because of ocean breezes. Nighttime temperatures stayed mild, sticking in the upper 50s to low 60s. Sunday will offer more sunshine with a gentle breeze, pushing highs back into the mid to upper 80s. The pattern continues Monday, keeping skies clear and temperatures in the mid-70s to mid-80s.
But Tuesday could break some heat records. Forecasters expect temperatures over 90 degrees in many areas. Springfield might hit 95, while Boston and Worcester could reach 90 and 92. Boston’s record for that day is 90, set in 2017. Even the coast gets a slight cooldown on Wednesday, but inland spots could still sizzle past 90.
