Boston, Massachusetts – Cooler air and scattered rain will hold back any summer-like warmth in Boston this week as conditions remain breezy and unsettled through Friday. Commuters on I-93 should brace for gusts up to 33 mph Monday and prepare for on-and-off showers that could slow down the evening drive.
According to the National Weather Service, Monday’s high will stay near 60°F with isolated showers possible after 3 p.m. Winds from the northwest may gust above 30 mph through the afternoon. Showers ease into Monday night with dry skies expected overnight and into early Tuesday.
