Boston, MA – Streetlights flicker against wind-tossed leaves across eastern Massachusetts this morning as gusts near 45 to 50 mph sweep through the region. A Wind Advisory remains in effect until 5 a.m., but calmer conditions are expected as the day progresses, bringing a crisp, breezy start to November.
According to the National Weather Service in Norton, westerly gusts reaching 50 mph may have downed small limbs or caused brief power interruptions from Providence to Boston. Drivers on I-95, Route 3, and the Mass Pike should continue using caution through early morning as winds slowly subside. Sunshine returns quickly today with highs in the mid-50s and a steady northwest breeze lingering through the afternoon.
Sunday looks bright and tranquil — a perfect pause before the next change. Clouds build late in the day, signaling a weak front that will bring a 30 percent chance of rain Monday afternoon into Monday night. Light showers could make for slick commutes, though rainfall amounts are expected to stay under a quarter inch. Winds will shift southerly ahead of the front before easing again by Tuesday.
Despite the mild spell, the pattern signals a November pivot toward cooler, stormier conditions midmonth. To be fair, the early week warmth — highs near 60 Monday — won’t last long. Longer-range models hint at a cold front sweeping south by next weekend, potentially introducing the first flakes north of Worcester and southern New Hampshire before Veterans Day.
Residents should take advantage of this calm stretch for leaf cleanup or early holiday decorating before the next true chill returns.
