Boston, Massachusetts – After recent temperature swings, Massachusetts is heading back to late-February norms in the Feb. 21–27 window, increasing the likelihood of additional snow and mixed precipitation across the state.
According to the National Weather Service Climate Prediction Center, the Bay State falls in a near-normal temperature zone for the 8- to 14-day outlook. That means highs and lows should align closely with seasonal averages, bringing colder nights back to central and western Massachusetts while keeping daytime readings closer to typical late-winter levels.
Precipitation probabilities tilt above normal, with a 33% to 40% chance of wetter-than-average conditions. For communities such as Worcester and Springfield, that favors periodic snowfall, especially if systems track inland. In eastern Massachusetts, including Boston and along the South Shore, marginal temperatures could support a mix of rain and snow at times, particularly during daylight hours.
Motorists should remain alert for slick travel during overnight and early morning periods when temperatures dip below freezing. Elevated roadways and untreated secondary roads are most vulnerable to refreezing.
This pattern supports occasional storm systems moving through rather than extended dry weather. Additional updates from the National Weather Service may refine timing and precipitation type as late February approaches.
