Looking at the weather this week, if you have a desire to get some painting done or maybe repair something outside or take a roof off, the weather is going to cooperate in a spectacular way. There may be a few clouds on Monday mixing with the sunshine, but otherwise we’re looking at basically sunny days and clear nights for the foreseeable future.

There will be a moderating trend this week starting with Monday reaching the 50-degree range after morning temperatures within a few degrees of freezing. Then it’s into the 50s again on Tuesday after a fairly chilly start, about 26 to 34.

If Logan Airport doesn’t reach freezing Tuesday morning, it’s likely that it won’t happen this month, which will take us into December for Boston’s first frost.

There’s been several years in which the first 32-degree reading happened in December, and it’s looking more like it’s going to be a repeat this year.

For reference, last year Logan reached 31 degrees on Nov. 23 for the first subfreezing day of the season.

With clear skies in place this week, I highly encourage you to look at the night sky when you get up in the morning. Venus is absolutely brilliant lower on the horizon in the east, and if you look up, you’re going to see Jupiter and Mars very close with Regulus just underneath. That triple show is beautiful, and I’ve been watching it. You can’t miss Mars because it has that reddish glow.

Also, Monday night, the Leonids meteor shower will be at peak through Tuesday. Here’s what you need to know and how to view them.

Greater Boston: Look for partly sunny skies on Monday with temperatures near 50. Mostly sunny skies on Tuesday with temperatures in the mid-50s.

Central and Western Mass.: Look for a blend of clouds and sunshine on Monday with temperatures in the upper 40s. Highs in the mid-50s on Tuesday with sunshine.
