Boston, Massachusetts – Expect warm skies Friday, but don’t let the spring sun fool you—Massachusetts heads into a wet, wind-swept weekend with road impacts likely.
According to the National Weather Service in Norton, a system moving in late Friday night brings a 30% chance of rain into Saturday morning, with higher odds of thunderstorms by Saturday night. Winds from the south could gust up to 26 mph. This may impact travel, especially along I-93 and I-95 around Boston and the Route 128 corridor. Motorists should plan for slower commutes and slick roads.
Saturday will peak around 67°F before widespread rain and possible storms hit. The chance of precipitation rises to 70% overnight, with heavier downpours expected late. Areas south of Boston, including Quincy and Brockton, could see the worst of the storm.
Sunday clears out slightly, with winds shifting northwest and highs in the lower 60s. Skies remain mostly sunny, but gusts up to 24 mph may continue. Monday warms again, with clear skies and highs near 71°F—ideal for outdoor plans.
