BOSTON, Mass. – Evening commuters in Boston could face slick roads and reduced visibility Wednesday as showers move in after 5 p.m., followed by patchy fog overnight.
According to the National Weather Service, showers are likely through late Wednesday, with the heaviest activity expected before 11 p.m. Rainfall totals should remain under a quarter inch, but damp conditions and fog may affect travel on I-93, the Mass Pike, and secondary routes across eastern Massachusetts.
Thursday will bring a brief chance of lingering showers in the morning before skies clear. Highs will reach near 70 degrees with a northeast breeze up to 14 mph. Stronger winds are possible along the coast.
By Friday, a stretch of drier and warmer weather takes hold. Skies will turn mostly sunny with highs near 77, setting up a bright weekend. Saturday looks especially favorable, reaching the low 80s under full sunshine — ideal for outdoor events and Cape Cod travelers.
Residents should plan for wet commutes Wednesday evening, allow extra travel time, and use caution in fog-prone areas. Conditions improve late week, but forecasters note additional shower chances could return by Sunday night.
