Boston is set for a cooler start to the week, with frosty suburbs expected on Thursday. But don't despair, because warmer days are on the horizon! By the weekend, temperatures are predicted to reach the 70s, especially in areas away from the coast. This is great news for events like the Head of the Charles Regatta and other late-season activities.

The cold high-pressure system that's keeping things chilly at the beginning of the week will move offshore by the weekend. This shift in weather patterns means warmer temperatures sticking around until midweek of the following week. But hold on to your hats, because a cold front is looming at the end of the week. This front will usher in cooler air.

In the meantime, keep an eye on the evening sky for a glimpse of the Tsuchinshan-ATLAS comet. It's best seen before 8 p.m. with the help of your phone's camera or binoculars. To spot it, look west after sunset, near the horizon.

Speaking of space, the aurora will remain quiet for the foreseeable future, and the next meteor shower, the Leonids, will peak mid-month next month. So, grab a jacket for the early part of the week, but don't forget your shades for the weekend!
