Massachusetts – A biting 21-degree start grips Boston this morning, with a wind chill near 11 degrees cutting through coats along the Mass Pike and I-93. Sidewalks are dry for now, but clouds are building fast. Snow moves in before 5 p.m., setting up a messy late-day commute.
According to the National Weather Service in Norton, snow develops this afternoon and mixes with rain before changing to plain rain. Highs reach 34 degrees. Snow accumulation stays under one inch, but slushy spots could develop on untreated roads as temperatures hover near freezing.
Rain continues into tonight with patchy fog after 10 p.m. Lows dip to 33 degrees. Drivers should allow extra time this evening, especially across elevated ramps and bridges where temperatures cool first.
By Wednesday, the pattern flips. Patchy morning fog gives way to sunshine and a sharp warm-up, with highs near 50 degrees. That snowpack will melt quickly. Watch for standing water and possible refreeze after dark in colder suburbs.
Another system arrives Thursday with a chance of rain or brief freezing rain early, then steady rain by afternoon. Highs reach 44 degrees. Rain lingers into Friday before ending late, with highs near 40.
Clocks spring ahead at 2 a.m. Sunday, March 8. Longer daylight arrives as milder air builds into early next week, with highs climbing toward 61 by Monday.
