Boston, MA – Massachusetts residents can expect a cool, dry Saturday before rain and gusty winds move in overnight. High temperatures today will reach the mid-to-upper 40s, providing a calm start ahead of a more active weather pattern arriving tonight.
According to the US National Weather Service Boston, rain will begin spreading across the state this evening. Showers are expected to continue into the early morning hours before tapering off around daybreak Sunday. As the rain exits, colder air will sweep in behind the system, setting up a noticeably chillier end to the weekend.
Sunday will also turn windy, with west winds increasing to 30 to 40 mph, especially along the immediate south coast. Afternoon temperatures will fall steadily, keeping much of the state feeling colder than earlier in the week. While most areas will remain dry after the morning rain, forecasters say a few spotty afternoon showers could develop across western Massachusetts.
Travel conditions are expected to remain manageable, though wet roads early Sunday may create minor delays for morning commuters. Elevated winds could also impact outdoor activities and lightweight holiday decorations.
The National Weather Service notes that temperatures will stay seasonably cool heading into early next week, with no major storms immediately on the horizon after this weekend’s system clears.
Communities across eastern and central Massachusetts—including Boston, Worcester, Springfield, Brockton, and the North Shore—should prepare for changing weather conditions overnight and into Sunday afternoon.
