Massachusetts – Gray skies hang low over Boston this morning, and while roads stay mainly wet for now, a sharper shift toward slushy, colder conditions is already developing by late Sunday.
According to the National Weather Service, temperatures climb to near 49°F today with partial clearing, then rise slightly to around 51°F Sunday. That mild air supports rain during the day, but the setup changes quickly after sunset.
Rain develops by late morning Sunday and becomes steadier through the afternoon. By Sunday night, colder air filters in, turning rain into a rain-snow mix and eventually wet snow. Little accumulation is expected, but slushy patches could form on untreated roads, especially north and west of Boston.
Drivers along I-93, I-90, and Route 1 should expect reduced visibility and slick spots into early Monday. Plan extra time if traveling late Sunday or during the early commute Monday.
Meteorologists note precipitation chances remain high into Monday morning, with snow possibly mixing in before tapering off. Highs only reach the low 40s, reinforcing the colder shift.
The bigger concern follows the system. By early Tuesday, temperatures drop to around 29°F. Any leftover moisture may refreeze, creating black ice on bridges and shaded roadways. Conditions could look dry but remain hazardous.
Sunshine returns Tuesday with highs near 45°F, followed by gradual warming midweek.
This pattern highlights a classic New England spring swing—rain, a brief snow mix, then a quick freeze.
