Massachusetts commuters are stepping into damp, gray conditions, where fog and mist blur headlights and soften the skyline across Boston. Wet pavement and low clouds are already setting the tone, with visibility dropping at times during the morning push.
According to the National Weather Service, patchy fog lingers through midday before partial clearing, while scattered rain chances continue through the afternoon . Temperatures climb to around 64°F, but the mix of moisture and light northeast wind keeps a cool, raw feel in the air.
Across Suffolk, Middlesex, and Norfolk counties, drivers along I-93 and the Mass Pike should expect changing visibility through the day. Light rain may come and go, creating slick spots during heavier bursts. Keep headlights on and allow extra space in traffic.
Conditions trend more unsettled heading into the weekend. Saturday stays mostly cloudy with lingering fog early and highs near 54°F. By Sunday, steadier rain develops, especially after midday, with an 80% chance of showers and gusty winds picking up by afternoon. Expect reduced visibility and ponding on roadways during heavier rainfall.
Behind the system, cooler air settles in quickly. Monday brings partial sunshine but keeps highs near 50°F, followed by a chilly night dipping to near 31°F. That raises the risk of patchy frost and possible slick spots if moisture lingers into early Tuesday.
Plan for slower travel today and keep rain gear ready for Sunday’s steadier showers. A warmer trend begins to build again by midweek.
