Massachusetts wakes to crisp, glassy air this November morning, the kind that makes rooftops glint and sidewalks feel one shade colder than expected. A thin veil of patchy fog clings to low spots, hinting at the season ahead as Thanksgiving travel quickly accelerates. Roads may stay dry early on, but pavement could feel slick where temperatures hover near freezing. Travelers heading out around sunrise should give themselves a little extra time, especially across shaded neighborhoods and busy commuter corridors.
Today brings a brighter sky for much of the morning, with calm winds offering an easy window for errands, school runs, and early holiday preparations. To be fair, the pattern shifts later as clouds thicken and a fresh southwest breeze develops. A developing disturbance signals a Friday rain chance, and models hint at an early-season “Winter Tease” farther north across New England next week. For now, Boston stays mild, but colder pockets inland remind us that November can turn sharply.
Friday’s rain risk grows during the afternoon. Light showers may streak across the city, cooling travel speeds along Route 1 and I-93. While totals stay low, timing matters; expect slower airport lines and occasional delays as holiday traffic builds.
The weekend trends quieter. Saturday brings a mostly sunny stretch with brisk west winds and seasonable temperatures. Sunday follows suit with crisp, bright November air—ideal for leaf cleanup, outdoor decorations, or early Thanksgiving grocery runs.
