Boston, Mass. – A stretch of early fall sunshine in Massachusetts could give way to slick conditions for Wednesday commuters as showers move in. Drivers on I-93 and Route 128 should prepare for possible wet pavement during the morning hours.
According to the National Weather Service in Norton, Tuesday will bring mostly sunny skies with a high near 71 and north winds up to 10 mph. That calm will shift Wednesday, September 9, as a slight chance of showers develops, especially across eastern Massachusetts. Rain chances remain low at 20 percent but could still disrupt the morning commute.
Boston’s Logan Airport is expected to remain dry Tuesday, but travelers should monitor updates for possible midweek flight delays if rain bands move through. North Shore towns like Salem and Beverly may see the earliest showers, while Worcester County stays mainly dry.
Residents are advised to plan ahead for Wednesday morning by allowing extra travel time and using caution on slick roads. Winds will be light but shifting, which could create patchy road conditions between coastal and inland areas.
The good news: sunshine quickly returns Thursday with highs climbing into the upper 70s. That warming trend continues into the weekend, making outdoor plans safe after the brief midweek hiccup.
Warnings are limited for now, but forecasters caution that additional advisories may be issued if showers intensify.
