Boston, Mass. – October kicks off with a rare stretch of classic fall weather: crisp mornings, bright sunshine, and seasonable warmth. Commuters along I-93 and Route 128 can expect clear travel conditions through Saturday, though chilly mornings may catch early risers off guard. Drivers should be mindful of reduced visibility at dawn as cooler air meets lingering ground moisture.
According to the National Weather Service, Boston will stay sunny with highs in the lower 70s through Thursday before dipping slightly Friday. Nights cool quickly, with lows falling into the 40s and low 50s, making layers and jackets essential for evening plans. Winds remain light but occasionally gusty out of the north and west, keeping afternoons comfortable.
Cambridge, Somerville, and Quincy should all see near-perfect afternoons for outdoor activities, while suburban towns like Waltham and Needham will feel the brisker nighttime chill more strongly. The consistency of the weather pattern also means smooth sailing for Logan International Airport operations and minimal weather-related travel disruptions.
Residents are advised to take advantage of this dry stretch by finishing outdoor projects before any unsettled October weather arrives early next week. While this week favors sunshine, fall in New England can turn quickly, so staying alert to updated advisories remains key.
Sunny skies and light winds will dominate through the weekend, making it a prime window for foliage trips westward toward Worcester County. The next chance for change comes Sunday into Monday, when winds shift southerly and clouds may slowly build.
