Sunny conditions are expected across Massachusetts today, but high astronomical tides are bringing minor flooding risks to coastal roads. Areas like Morrissey Blvd in Boston and Easy St in Nantucket are likely to experience shallow water during the afternoon high tide. Drivers should prepare for potential road closures or detours and avoid flooded areas.
According to the National Weather Service, high tides combined with the Hunter’s Moon could raise water levels by up to one foot in some low-lying coastal regions. The flood advisory remains in effect from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. today. Minor flooding is anticipated along eastern shorelines, particularly in Essex, Suffolk, and Norfolk counties. Commuters should monitor local traffic updates and plan alternative routes if needed.
This weekend, temperatures are forecast to remain pleasant, with highs reaching 69°F on Saturday and 72°F on Sunday. Clear skies will dominate, and Sunday offers ideal conditions for outdoor activities. By Monday, warmer temperatures around 76°F will arrive, providing a sunny start to the workweek.
