Boston, MA – Travelers across Massachusetts should keep an eye on the skies Sunday afternoon as scattered showers and thunderstorms may bring delays and slick roads, especially along I-93 near Boston. With the storm risk hitting after 2 p.m., drivers and outdoor plans could face disruptions at the height of the weekend.
According to the National Weather Service, Sunday’s high will reach near 77 degrees, with winds turning northeast at 6 mph as storms develop. The chance of precipitation sits near 20 percent, but any isolated downpour could create sudden visibility issues for evening commuters and event-goers in the Boston metro.
Sunday night will clear out quickly, leaving lows near 58 degrees and calmer winds. By Monday, sunshine dominates again, with temperatures holding steady in the mid-70s across Suffolk, Middlesex, and Essex counties. That pattern continues through much of the workweek, offering more comfortable fall-like conditions and stable travel weather across New England.
Residents planning Sunday outdoor activities should stay weather-aware after midday, especially for youth sports, community festivals, and coastal traffic heading to Cape Ann. Light rain and thunder could briefly interrupt plans but should pass before evening.
The week ahead offers a taste of early fall, with mild days and cool nights. Expect drier air, plenty of sun, and more seasonal temperatures through Thursday.
Warnings remain limited, but NWS officials recommend monitoring updates through Sunday in case storm coverage expands.
