Massachusetts commuters are stepping into a steel-gray February morning with temperatures stuck at 30 degrees and overcast skies hanging low over Boston Harbor. The air feels damp and still, but the cold bites immediately. Sidewalks remain stiff with frost, and untreated patches glint under weak morning light.
According to the National Weather Service in Norton, skies turn mostly sunny this afternoon with highs near 38 degrees. West winds increase to 6 to 10 mph, with gusts up to 21 mph. That breeze keeps the chill in place despite brighter skies.
Temperatures fall quickly after sunset, sliding to around 24 degrees tonight as clouds increase. Any leftover moisture could refreeze on I-93, the Mass Pike and elevated ramps. This is classic flash-freeze season across eastern Massachusetts. Bridges and overpasses will ice first. Plan extra time for the late commute and early Thursday drive.
Thursday stays cold with highs near 34 degrees and increasing clouds. Friday turns sunny with highs near 35, but attention shifts to Friday night. A 30% chance of snow develops after 1 a.m., which could bring light accumulation into early Saturday. Even minor snowfall can create slick travel before sunrise.
Valentine’s Weekend Feb. 13-15 trends brighter and slightly milder. Saturday reaches near 37 degrees with sunshine. Early next week continues the gradual warm-up, with highs pushing toward 40 by Tuesday. The 6–10 day outlook favors above-average temperatures across New England, hinting at a slow late-winter thaw.
