According to the National Weather Service in Boston, clear skies will continue through Sunday with highs near 69 degrees and nighttime lows in the mid-40s.

By Tuesday evening, a 40% chance of showers develops as a southwest wind pushes moisture into the region.
Eastern Massachusetts, including Chestnut Hill, Boston, and Waltham, could see slippery road conditions late Tuesday into early Wednesday. Commuters are advised to give extra travel time, check headlights and wipers, and use caution on highways and secondary roads.
