A High Signal Weekend for Arts and Music
The weekend ahead in Cambridge and Boston is shaping up to be a strong one for local culture. With a good weather forecast despite some early clouds, the city will be buzzing with major theater productions and stadium concerts. Saturday afternoon looks especially promising for those planning to be outdoors.
Expect a mix of overcast skies and light drizzle to start the weekend. Temperatures will warm up from a high of 71 on Friday to 82 by Sunday, with the best window for outdoor activities arriving late Saturday afternoon.
