Chestnut Hill, Mass. – Drivers across eastern Massachusetts should prepare for a mix of sunshine and unsettled skies as the weekend develops. Clear, crisp mornings will give way to warm afternoons Friday and Saturday before rain chances climb by Sunday afternoon. Early planning may help avoid slick road conditions on Route 9 and other heavily traveled corridors if showers arrive late.
According to the National Weather Service in Boston, Friday brings mostly sunny skies with highs near 70 degrees. Northeast winds around 8 mph will keep conditions comfortable. Saturday stays bright and mild, with temperatures rising into the low 70s, but clouds will slowly increase by nightfall.
By Sunday, a shift in wind direction will pull in more moisture. Forecasters expect partly sunny skies with highs near 74, followed by a 30% chance of showers developing by evening. Light rain could dampen evening travel across Middlesex and Suffolk counties, and forecasters warn of potential delays on key commuter routes, including Route 9 and I-95.
Residents are urged to enjoy the calm weather Friday and Saturday while preparing for possible wet roads Sunday night into Monday morning. Officials recommend keeping vehicles fueled, avoiding unnecessary travel during heavier showers, and allowing extra time on busy routes.
Conditions will improve Monday as skies clear by afternoon, though another system could influence midweek weather. Forecasters note that temperatures will remain seasonable, giving residents a taste of early fall.
Warnings remain limited, but forecasters suggest monitoring updates as rain chances grow Sunday evening.
