Boston, MA – Massachusetts drivers should plan for slick roads and slower traffic Saturday morning, as showers roll through the area before 10 a.m. This Father’s Day weekend is set for a damp beginning, particularly impacting morning errands and early travel around Greater Boston.
According to the National Weather Service, rain showers are likely starting early Saturday, with precipitation chances near 60%. Total rainfall is expected to be light—generally less than a tenth of an inch—but still enough to create slippery conditions on local roads like I-93, Route 1, and Storrow Drive. The Massachusetts Department of Transportation (MassDOT) urges motorists to leave extra travel time and maintain safe following distances to avoid potential hydroplaning and minor collisions.
The weather improves considerably later Saturday, with clouds lingering but minimal precipitation. Expect daytime highs around 62°F. Saturday night should remain mostly cloudy, but dry, with a comfortable low near 54°F.
On Sunday, Father’s Day itself offers a brighter scenario for outdoor celebrations, becoming partly sunny with highs near 67°F. It’s a better day to plan outdoor activities, though an extra layer of clothing is advisable for cooler temperatures and the persistent cloud coverage.
Heading into early next week, the forecast remains mostly dry and seasonably pleasant. Monday brings partly cloudy conditions, with temperatures rising to about 71°F during the day. Overnight lows stay comfortably in the mid-50s, ideal for opening windows and letting fresh air circulate.
Tuesday continues the mild trend with a high around 74°F and minimal weather disruptions forecasted. However, a few passing clouds might appear throughout the day.
Residents should continue monitoring local forecasts for any additional alerts or changes. Conditions will be favorable for most daily activities through Tuesday evening, providing a pleasant start to the new week following Saturday morning’s brief interruption.
