Massachusetts – Clouds are thickening over Boston this afternoon, and the shift toward a wetter, breezier pattern is already beginning to take shape. What starts as a cool, gray day quickly transitions into a mix of rain, wind, and a brief warmup by early this week.
According to the National Weather Service, highs reach near 52°F today before scattered showers develop tonight, mainly after late evening, with a 40 percent chance of rain. Winds increase Monday, with gusts reaching up to 31 mph as temperatures climb to around 69°F.
Drivers along I-93, I-90, and Route 1 should prepare for slick roads late tonight into early Monday. Reduced visibility and wet pavement may impact the morning commute. Allow extra time and keep headlights on.
By Tuesday, a noticeable warmup arrives. Highs jump to around 79°F under mostly sunny skies, offering a brief break from the unsettled pattern. That warmth will be short-lived.
Showers return Tuesday night and continue into midweek. Wednesday brings partly sunny skies with highs near 78°F before another round of rain develops late. A 40 percent chance of showers Wednesday night could affect evening travel across the metro.
Thursday remains unsettled with additional rain chances and highs near 73°F. Expect damp roads and periodic slowdowns during peak travel times.
This back-and-forth spring pattern keeps conditions changing quickly across eastern Massachusetts. Additional advisories may be issued as systems move through.
