Boston, MA – Residents across Massachusetts are bracing for a soggy week ahead as consistent rain dominates the forecast through Friday, with colder temperatures bringing snow over the weekend. Commuters should prepare for potentially slick roads Tuesday morning and take extra precautions during peak travel hours.
According to the National Weather Service (NWS) Boston, light to moderate rain will move across the region throughout Tuesday, impacting areas like Hartford, Springfield, and Providence. Patchy freezing drizzle is possible inland during the early hours, which could make untreated roadways icy. Drivers on major routes, including I-90 and I-495, should remain vigilant for reduced visibility and slippery surfaces.
Looking ahead, temperatures will remain mild midweek, with highs in the upper 40s to low 50s across most of Massachusetts. By Thursday, a slight dip in temperatures will set the stage for a cooler trend, leading to a chance of light snow flurries inland by Friday evening.
The NWS predicts a more significant storm system to develop late Friday into Saturday, bringing accumulating snow to central and northern parts of the state. Coastal areas, including Cape Cod and Nantucket, are likely to see a mix of rain and snow, with localized freezing conditions possible.
Residents are urged to monitor updated forecasts closely throughout the week, as the incoming snow could impact weekend travel plans. Local officials recommend checking road conditions before heading out and allowing extra time for commutes, especially during early morning hours when icy spots may form.
