Boston, MA – Gusty winds and cool temperatures are shaping conditions across Massachusetts today, with wind-driven chills and dry air impacting outdoor plans through the afternoon.
According to the National Weather Service in Boston, highs will reach the upper 40s for most areas, with some inland locations in the Connecticut and Merrimack River valleys climbing into the low 50s. Coastal communities, including Boston and Plymouth, will remain cooler in the low to mid-40s due to onshore influences.
Winds will increase out of the southwest through the afternoon, adding a noticeable chill despite the seasonal temperatures. Cities such as Worcester, Springfield, and Lowell may see slightly warmer readings, but breezy conditions will persist statewide.
Drivers on major routes like I-90 and I-95 should be prepared for occasional gusts, especially on bridges and open stretches. Residents are encouraged to dress in layers and secure loose outdoor items.
Dry weather continues through the day with intervals of cloud cover, and no significant precipitation is expected. Conditions remain stable into tonight, with additional changes possible early this week.
