BOSTON, Mass. – A thin veil of clouds drifts across the harbor as dawn light glimmers off calm water and car roofs shine with a faint frost. It’s another brisk November morning across eastern Massachusetts — a quiet pause before a weekend pattern shift brings a touch of rain and a reminder that winter isn’t far behind.
According to the National Weather Service in Norton, Thursday will feature mostly sunny skies and a light northwest breeze, with highs reaching near 46°F. It’s the kind of cool, steady day typical of mid-November — crisp air, dry streets, and clear visibility for commuters along I-90 and Route 128. For now, no immediate weather alerts are posted, though residents should keep an eye on the weekend system that could introduce wet travel conditions Saturday night into Sunday.
Friday remains calm and cool with highs near 46°F, setting up a comfortable stretch to finish the workweek. By Saturday, increasing clouds signal the next change. Showers may develop by late evening, growing steadier overnight into early Sunday morning. Temperatures will hover in the mid-40s, meaning all precipitation stays liquid — but roads could turn slick in the cooler suburbs north and west of the city.
For travelers and early holiday planners, the early-week outlook looks stable again by Monday, with sunshine and highs near 45°F. To be fair, this mild spell won’t last long — models hint at a colder push late next week, a “winter tease” that could bring the first flakes to parts of New England just before Thanksgiving.
