Boston, Mass. – Drivers across Massachusetts face a messy Thursday with heavy rain, patchy fog, and the potential for slick roads. The National Weather Service warns commuters to use extra caution, especially along I-93 and I-95, as visibility may drop and roads could quickly become hazardous.
According to the National Weather Service, showers and a few thunderstorms will move across eastern Massachusetts through Thursday night, with rain tapering off Friday. Patchy fog could linger into the morning, reducing visibility for Boston Logan International Airport and other regional travel hubs. Up to three-quarters of an inch of rainfall is possible, creating minor flooding in poor drainage areas.
By Saturday, sunshine and fall-like conditions return, offering a welcome break as highs reach the mid-70s. Outdoor events in Boston and across Suffolk County should see favorable weather. Sunday trends mostly cloudy but stays dry, keeping conditions stable for weekend travel.
The first days of October bring a noticeable shift. Cooler mornings dip into the low 50s by Tuesday, signaling the season’s first hint of crisp fall air. Wednesday stays dry but breezy, with northeast winds up to 13 mph, making it feel cooler.
Residents should plan for one more round of wet weather before drier, calmer days arrive. Officials advise checking local alerts for any additional advisories, especially during Thursday evening’s commute.
