Massachusetts – Wet pavement is already spreading across Boston this afternoon, and conditions are set to deteriorate quickly as steady rain moves in, followed by a messy rain-to-snow transition heading into Sunday and early Monday.
According to the National Weather Service, rain develops through this evening with a 90% chance of showers and temperatures falling into the low 40s. Visibility may drop at times, especially along I-93, I-95, and Route 1. Plan extra time if heading out.
Saturday offers a brief break. Skies turn mostly sunny with highs near 52°F, but don’t get used to it. Clouds rebuild quickly by evening, setting the stage for a more complex system.
Meteorologists now tracking the next wave say Sunday starts with rain, then transitions to a rain/snow mix late morning into midday. Highs hover near 49°F, keeping accumulation limited, but flakes could mix in heavily at times.
By Sunday night, steadier rain returns with a 70% chance, keeping roads wet and visibility reduced. Expect ponding on roadways and slower travel into the evening hours.
Monday brings another round of unsettled weather. A mix of rain and snow is possible early, especially before midday, as temperatures drop to the low 40s. Winds increase, adding a raw feel across the region.
Here’s where it gets tricky. Monday night temperatures fall near 28°F. Any leftover moisture may refreeze, creating icy patches on bridges and untreated roads into early Tuesday. This is classic March flash-freeze territory.
