Boston, MA – Massachusetts drivers can expect a quick shift from spring sunshine to unsettled weather as the week unfolds, with Monday starting bright before rain threatens late-week commutes along I-93, I-90, and I-95. Sunshine and mild temperatures will lift spirits on Monday, but residents should keep rain gear handy for Thursday, when showers could slow travel and reduce visibility across Boston and surrounding suburbs.
According to the National Weather Service, Monday will bring sunny skies and a high near 72°F, with northwest winds at 8 to 10 mph—ideal for outdoor plans or errands across Suffolk County. By Tuesday, temperatures rise even higher, reaching 77°F under mostly sunny conditions. Winds will shift southwest at 5 to 13 mph, with gusts up to 23 mph, so secure any loose outdoor items and plan for breezy afternoon conditions.
