Massachusetts – Cold raindrops tap against windows and soak pavement across Boston this morning, creating slick travel conditions along I-93, the Mass Pike, and Storrow Drive. The air feels raw, and visibility dips in passing showers, slowing the late-morning commute.
According to the National Weather Service, scattered showers will continue through midday with about a 40% chance of rain and highs reaching only 48°F. Winds from the south between 6 and 10 mph, with gusts up to 20 mph, add to the damp chill across Suffolk County and surrounding areas.
Roads remain wet into the afternoon, even as showers begin to taper. Plan extra time if traveling through downtown Boston, Cambridge, or Quincy. Bridges and elevated roadways may stay slick longer due to cooler surface temperatures.
Conditions improve later today as clouds begin to thin. However, temperatures fall back into the low 40s tonight. That’s close enough for patchy slick spots to develop where moisture lingers, especially on overpasses.
A noticeable rebound arrives Thursday. Partial sunshine returns, pushing highs to 61°F across the metro area. That warmer air continues into Friday, with mostly sunny skies and highs near 56°F—comfortable for outdoor plans.
The weekend stays seasonable but cooler. Highs hover in the low to mid-50s Saturday and Sunday with dry conditions dominating. No major storm systems are expected, but nights remain chilly near 39°F.
