BOSTON, Mass. – A warm and sunny start to the week in Boston will give way to a sharp change by Tuesday night as rain and cooler air move into eastern Massachusetts. Daytime highs near 83°F today will tumble into the 60s by midweek, signaling the region’s first strong taste of autumn.
According to the National Weather Service in Norton, showers are likely to begin late Tuesday night, with a 60% chance of rain and gusts up to 20 mph. Wednesday brings a near-certain 90% chance of showers before winds turn northwest, ushering in cooler, drier air.
Commuters should expect slower travel Wednesday morning, especially along I-93 and the Mass Pike, where wet roads could reduce visibility. Temperatures are forecast to dip into the mid-40s by Wednesday night, with breezy northwest winds adding to the chill.
