Boston, Massachusetts – Temperatures remain stuck in the 40s to low 50s today, keeping roads cool and damp as increasing clouds and late-day showers threaten to slow travel across southern New England by early evening.
According to the National Weather Service in Boston, conditions start mostly sunny this morning before shifting to filtered sunshine and thicker cloud cover through the afternoon. Onshore winds will hold temperatures below seasonal averages, with highs topping out between 45 and 52 degrees across much of Massachusetts, Connecticut, and Rhode Island.
Light rain develops between 6 p.m. and 10 p.m., primarily impacting western Massachusetts, including Springfield and Pittsfield, as well as Hartford, Connecticut, and southern Rhode Island. Key travel routes such as I-90, I-91, and I-84 may see reduced visibility and slick pavement during this window. Eastern areas, including Boston, Cambridge, and the South Shore, are more likely to stay dry longer, though clouds will thicken steadily into the ರಾತ್ರಿ hours.
Drivers should allow extra time during the evening commute, especially in western zones where showers arrive first. Keep headlights on in reduced visibility and watch for changing road conditions as temperatures hover near 50 degrees.
Cloud cover lingers overnight with spotty showers tapering after midnight. Another update is expected by late afternoon as radar trends refine the timing and coverage of evening rain.
