Boston, Mass. – Wind pushes across rooftops and rustles late-season leaves across eastern Massachusetts this Thursday morning as a line of light showers slides through ahead of a cooler, calmer weekend. The air feels damp but mild early on — a quick reminder that late October’s weather can shift fast this time of year.
Scattered showers are expected through early afternoon, especially near the coast and north of Route 2. Winds from the southwest will pick up by midday, gusting near 25 to 30 mph before easing late. Highs will reach the low 60s in Boston, but by Thursday night, cooler air filters back in with lows in the mid-40s under partly cloudy skies.
Friday brings the real change: crisp sunshine, light breezes, and highs near 60°F. The day will start chilly, but the clear air will make it ideal for outdoor work, errands, or fall foliage drives westward into Worcester County. A few clouds may drift through Friday night with a stray sprinkle possible, though most areas will stay dry.
Saturday and Sunday will showcase classic New England fall weather — bright skies, low humidity, and afternoon highs in the mid- to upper-50s. Nights will cool to the upper 30s, signaling that patchy frost isn’t far off, especially inland.
Early next week, clouds return as a weak front approaches, but no major rain or snow threats are on the horizon yet. Still, with November around the corner, residents should expect those chilly mornings to feel a little more “winter-like” with each passing day.
