Dancing in the rain: Here's the weather forecast for Boston Calling 2025
Festival attendees at Boston Calling 2025 may be dancing between raindrops this Memorial Day weekend, after a late spring nor'easter swept through the state just ahead of the three-day event.
With heavy, cold precipitation and high winds, the nor'easter caused temperatures to drop to the 40s on Thursday and dumped several inches of rain across the state.
Boston Calling organizers monitored the weather to ensure set-up operations were unaffected by the storm, and took precautions to protect the Harvard Athletic Complex festival grounds, equipment and staging, according to an event spokesperson.
As the festival is rain-or-shine, attendees should be prepared for a variety of weather events over the weekend — and might want to pack layers and a poncho.
Boston Calling starts Friday, May 23 and will continue through Sunday, May 25.
Here's the weather forecast for each day.
Though the nor'easter was projected to taper out by 8 a.m. on Friday, festival goers should still bring a rain jacket.
Lingering and sporadic showers are expected throughout the daytime on Friday in the Allston and Boston area, with chances increasing up to 60% after 3 p.m., according to National Weather Service forecasters.
Skies will be overcast and temperatures chilly in the mid-50s, though the high wind gusts — some that reached up to 50 mph on Thursday — are expected to die down. However, up to 25 mph gusts are still possible.
The chance for showers will continue into Friday night, as temperatures reach lows around 48 degrees.
Chilly and damp weather is still in the forecast for the second day of Boston Calling.
While rain will be less likely after 10 a.m., skies are expected to remain overcast throughout the daytime and into the evening on Saturday.
A chance of showers, mainly before 10am. Mostly cloudy, with a high near 60. West wind 7 to 9 mph. Chance of precipitation is 30%.
Temperatures will be slightly higher, but aren't supposed to reach above the low 60s, forecasters said. However, the winds should diminish.
Saturday night will still be cloudy, and temperatures could reach lows around 47 degrees.
The final day of Boston Calling is expected to have the best weather of all three days.
The sun will finally emerge at times throughout the day, even as partly cloudy skies persist.
Temperatures are expected to be in the low 60s and reach highs around 64 degrees, and winds should remain light. Temperatures may drop below the 50s on Sunday night, but no precipitation is expected.

Flood watch issued for northeast Kansas counties
SHAWNEE COUNTY (KSNT) – The National Weather Service (NWS) has issued a Flood Watch for Shawnee County as rain rates of over an inch an hour are likely. On Monday, June 2, the NWS reported that conditions will be favorable for flooding. The NWS advised travelers to plan ahead and be prepared for rapidly developing storms. 'Each year, more deaths occur due to flooding than from any other thunderstorm related hazard,' the NWS said in a press release. 'Floods can strike at any time, often with little notice.' The NWS said excessive runoff could result in rivers, creeks and streams flooding. 27 News Meteorologist Ely Millard said a round of storms will develop midday into the afternoon and evening. He said some of the storms could be strong to severe. Millard said that along I-35 and towards the southeast of Topeka is where the most rainfall will happen. Those areas could see 3-4 inches of rain. The following counties will be under a flood watch through Wednesday morning: Anderson Coffey Douglas Franklin Lyon Morris Osage Shawnee Wabaunsee Brown Jackson Jefferson Nemaha Pottawatomie Strong storms continue into the afternoon In 1951, Northeast Kansas had a devastating flood that some call 'Black Friday'.

Coastal low could bring rain, wind, dangerous rip currents to South Carolina coast this week
MOUNT PLEASANT, S.C. (WCBD) – A coastal low could bring heavy rain, windy conditions, and dangerous rip currents to the Charleston area this week. Forecasters with the National Hurricane Center said in their Tuesday morning outlook that a non-tropical area of low pressure is expected to form near the southeastern U.S. coast in the next couple of days. If the low remains offshore, forecasters say it could develop some subtropical or tropical characteristics later in the week. The system could bring unsettled weather to the region, including heavy rainfall, breezy conditions, and an increased risk for dangerous rip currents along the beaches Wednesday into Thursday. According to the National Weather Service, rain is expected to spread across the Lowcountry on Wednesday, with rainfall amounts ranging from one to three inches, and some isolated higher amounts possible. Gusty winds are possible from Wednesday into Wednesday night, specifically at the beaches, which brings an increased risk of rip currents.
