Boston, Mass. – A warm but unsettled start to the workweek could leave Boston commuters dodging showers Monday afternoon, especially along I-93 and Route 128. While rainfall won’t be heavy, slick roads could impact traffic during the late day drive.
According to the National Weather Service, a weak system will pass through eastern Massachusetts Monday, bringing a slight chance of showers between 2 p.m. and 3 p.m. Skies will brighten afterward, with highs near 74 degrees and lighter winds making for a comfortable afternoon once the clouds clear.
Boston’s Sunday night remains mostly clear, with temperatures dipping near 58 degrees. Monday starts off bright, but clouds return midday before showers develop. Winds will shift from east to south at 5 mph, calming overnight.
By Tuesday, mostly sunny skies return with highs near 74. Nights will trend cooler, dropping into the mid-50s. Midweek looks seasonably pleasant, though another weak front could bring a 30% chance of showers late Wednesday into Thursday. Friday will feel more like summer again, with highs climbing to the low 80s.
Travelers should remain alert to slick pavement during Monday’s rain window, and allow extra time on the Pike and I-93. Cooler nights midweek mean fall is edging closer, but the season’s warmth isn’t gone yet. More updates are expected if midweek showers strengthen.
