Boston, MA – Dry and breezy conditions are expected across southern New England on Monday before a midweek system brings the chance for light snow showers, according to the National Weather Service in Boston.
Forecasters say Monday will be sunny and breezy, with afternoon highs ranging from 20 to 27 degrees. Despite sunshine, gusty winds will keep conditions feeling cold throughout the day. Overnight lows are expected to drop into the teens, especially away from the coast.
Attention then turns to Tuesday, when the next weather system approaches the region. The National Weather Service indicates light snow showers are possible Tuesday afternoon, particularly across southern New England. High temperatures Tuesday are forecast to range from 29 to 35 degrees, with lows Tuesday night between 17 and 28 degrees.
Some mixed precipitation may be possible toward the south coast, Cape Cod, and the Islands, though no accumulation amounts were specified in the update. Snow showers may linger into Wednesday, mainly across eastern portions of the region.
Wednesday is expected to remain cloudy, with highs between 30 and 38 degrees, before conditions gradually dry out. Lingering snow showers are most likely east of the I-495 corridor, according to the forecast graphic.
By Thursday and Friday, drier weather is expected to return, with partly cloudy skies and highs generally ranging from the upper 20s to mid-30s.
Major travel corridors including I-93, I-90, Route 128, I-495, and Route 3 should see good travel conditions Monday, before the potential for slick spots develops Tuesday afternoon and evening if snow showers materialize.
Commuters and students should monitor forecast updates as timing and coverage of midweek snow showers become clearer. The National Weather Service advises staying aware of changing conditions during the Tuesday afternoon and evening travel periods.
