Boston, Mass. – Drivers across eastern Massachusetts could face slick roads late Saturday as thunderstorms and heavy showers roll into the state. Travel on I-93 and I-95 may be impacted, especially with patchy fog expected into early Sunday morning. Residents should plan around delays and avoid unnecessary late-night driving.
According to the National Weather Service in Norton, storms will build Saturday afternoon, with the strongest rain chances after sunset. Gusty south winds near 15 mph could combine with downpours to reduce visibility. The chance of precipitation peaks at 80 percent overnight, bringing the risk of localized flooding in low-lying areas.
Friday offers a calmer setup. Skies will clear by evening, giving way to a mild and comfortable night near 68 degrees. Saturday, however, heats quickly into the upper 80s before showers and isolated thunderstorms develop. Residents hosting outdoor gatherings should prepare backup plans.
Sunday looks unsettled early, with showers likely before noon. Conditions improve later in the day as cooler, drier air pushes in from the northwest. Football fans heading to local games may still want to carry rain gear for morning kickoff.
By Monday, sunshine dominates, with highs in the mid-70s and light winds creating a true fall-like feel. The workweek holds steady with partly to mostly sunny skies through midweek and highs staying in the 70s.
Stay weather-aware, especially Saturday evening through early Sunday. Additional advisories could follow if storm coverage intensifies.
