Boston, Mass. – Drivers across eastern Massachusetts could face reduced visibility and slick roads through Friday as a damp stretch lingers into the weekend. Morning commuters on I-93 and I-90 should prepare for slowdowns with fog and scattered showers holding through Friday, September 26.
According to the National Weather Service, widespread showers and thunderstorms remain likely Thursday and into Friday, with rainfall totals reaching three-quarters of an inch in spots. Patchy fog adds to travel concerns, especially along the coast and in lower-lying areas near Boston and Quincy. Winds from the east at 5 to 10 mph may also complicate driving conditions.
Showers could continue into Friday afternoon before skies clear late day. The good news: drier air takes over for Saturday, with highs climbing into the mid-70s under mostly sunny skies. Sunday also looks bright, making for a pleasant end to September.
Travelers should allow extra time for morning commutes, keep headlights on in fog, and avoid flooded underpasses. Outdoor events Thursday and Friday may see interruptions, but the weekend promises a better setup for fall festivals and late-season beach trips.
The region could see the first signs of chill by early next week. Nighttime lows dip into the low 60s Monday before sliding further toward the mid-50s. While still far from winter’s bite, cooler nights signal fall’s quick arrival across New England.
Warnings remain in effect through Friday morning, with updated advisories possible if thunderstorm risks increase.
