Massachusetts is starting gray and damp, and in Boston, low clouds are pressing down over the skyline as light rain begins to develop. Roads are already damp in spots, and visibility may drop quickly as fog forms through the late morning.
According to the National Weather Service, showers increase through midday with up to an 80% chance of rain and areas of patchy fog reducing visibility, especially between late morning and early afternoon.
Across Boston and surrounding Suffolk County, temperatures struggle near 60°F today, keeping conditions cool and raw. Drivers along I-93, the Mass Pike, and Storrow Drive should prepare for slick pavement and slower travel speeds as rain fills in. Plan extra time and use headlights during heavier showers.
Rain continues into the evening, then becomes more widespread by Wednesday, with a 60% to 70% chance of steady showers. By Wednesday night, temperatures drop into the upper 30s, raising a concern for a chilly, damp feel and possibly slick spots on untreated surfaces north and west of the city.
Thursday stays cool with highs near the low 40s and additional scattered showers, reinforcing the unsettled spring pattern. A gradual improvement arrives Friday with drier skies and highs rebounding into the mid-60s.
Looking ahead, early April trends milder, but this stretch of wet weather will dominate the next few days. Keep umbrellas and rain gear close, especially during peak travel hours.
