Boston, MA — A stormy start to the workweek is set to hit eastern Massachusetts Monday as heavy rain, widespread fog, and slick roads threaten to disrupt morning commutes. Residents across Boston and along I-93 should brace for limited visibility and waterlogged streets from early morning through the evening hours.
According to the National Weather Service, showers and areas of dense fog will develop before 9 a.m. Monday, becoming heavier throughout the afternoon. Winds from the south could reach 17 mph, and rainfall totals may top half an inch. Drivers are urged to allow extra travel time, especially on major routes like I-93 and I-95, where pooling water and fog may create hazardous conditions.
Conditions will remain wet into Monday night, with possible thunderstorms. Gusts may reach 28 mph, raising additional concerns for scattered debris and minor power outages.
By Tuesday, skies begin clearing but remain unsettled. Expect highs near 51°F with breezy northwest winds up to 21 mph. Wednesday looks drier, with sun returning and highs around 44°F, though showers are possible again by Wednesday night. Thursday and Friday bring partly sunny skies and highs near the mid-50s — a sign spring warmth is trying to break through.
