Boston, Mass. – Summer heat and fall storms are colliding in Massachusetts, bringing a mix of sunshine, late-week warmth, and potential weekend disruptions. Drivers and football fans alike should prepare for sudden changes as temperatures soar and showers return.
According to the National Weather Service in Boston, Thursday will stay sunny with highs near 80 before increasing clouds and patchy fog Thursday night. By Friday, skies will turn mostly cloudy, then clear briefly as highs push to 85. Saturday looks hot, near 87, before showers move in during the evening. Travel delays along I-93, I-95, and the Mass Pike (I-90) are possible as rain bands and gusty winds arrive.
South winds could reach 25 mph Saturday, making outdoor events from Fenway Park to high school football fields uncomfortable. By Sunday, widespread showers are likely, with the highest impacts in Suffolk, Middlesex, and Essex counties. Tailgaters and weekend travelers should keep ponchos ready and allow extra time on the roads.
By Monday, cooler air settles in, with highs dipping into the lower 70s. Sunshine will return briefly before more clouds roll in midweek. Residents should charge devices ahead of Saturday’s storms and avoid unnecessary travel during heavier downpours.
