Boston, Mass. – After a sticky stretch of late-August humidity, Massachusetts will feel a major shift beginning Tuesday as a drier, cooler air mass settles over the state. The National Weather Service in Boston reports dew points will tumble from the mid-60s on Monday into the 40s and 50s by Tuesday, ushering in far more comfortable conditions.
According to the agency, the change follows a cold front that swept across the region Monday, replacing the muggy air with a crisp, fall-like feel. Cities including Worcester, Springfield, and Boston can expect dew points near 48 to 50 degrees, while Cape Cod and the Islands will hold slightly higher, in the mid-50s.
Travelers should notice clearer skies and better air quality across the state. Outdoor activities, from morning commutes to late-day errands, will be far more pleasant as the heavy, sticky air retreats. The shift also means cooler nights, with some inland areas dipping into the 50s, a noticeable contrast from the past week’s warmth.
This dry stretch is expected to hold through Wednesday before moisture slowly builds back toward the weekend.
