Boston, MA – Residents across Massachusetts should prepare for unsettled weather this afternoon and evening as showers and scattered thunderstorms move into the region. Temperatures will remain seasonably warm, with highs ranging from 75 to 80 degrees.
According to the National Weather Service in Boston, increasing clouds will lead to showers and isolated thunderstorms beginning mid-afternoon Tuesday and lasting into the evening. The forecast shows rain chances climbing above 70 percent for many areas between 6 p.m. and midnight, particularly in Boston, Worcester, and Springfield.
Periods of showers are expected to linger overnight, with the possibility of a rumble of thunder before morning. Lows will range from 58 to 62 degrees.
By Wednesday, conditions should improve, but lingering showers remain possible through midday. Rain chances taper to 30–40 percent by afternoon across much of the state, with more sunshine expected by late day.
Forecasters caution that while widespread severe weather is not anticipated, isolated downpours could bring brief heavy rain and gusty winds, making evening commutes slower across Greater Boston, Worcester County, and surrounding areas.
Residents are encouraged to monitor weather updates throughout the day and take precautions if thunderstorms develop, especially during the evening drive.
