Massachusetts — Snowflakes drift through dim morning light as winter tightens its grip across eastern Massachusetts. Pavement glistens under streetlamps, and the cold bites harder with each gust sweeping in from the northwest.
In Boston, light snow is falling early this morning, with temperatures near 16°F at Logan International Airport. Winds from the northwest gust up to 33 mph, pushing wind chills down near 0°F. Visibility has dropped to 3 miles, signaling reduced travel conditions for early commuters.
This morning’s snow remains light, but combined cold and wind create slick conditions on untreated roads, bridges, and sidewalks. Drivers should expect slower travel during the morning hours, especially on elevated roadways and coastal routes.
Clouds increase through the day as temperatures climb only modestly. Afternoon highs reach around 22°F, keeping surfaces cold enough for lingering icy spots. Tonight turns colder again, with lows near 6°F under mostly clear skies.
Midweek offers little warmth. Wednesday brings increasing clouds and a high near 23°F, followed by another cold night with lows near 7°F. Thursday stays mostly sunny but cold, topping out near 23°F, before plunging again overnight to around 4°F.
Friday remains dry and cold, with sunshine and highs near 19°F. By the weekend, forecast data shows a chance of snow Saturday night, followed by another chance of snow Sunday, with highs near 29°F. No accumulation amounts are specified at this time.
Residents should dress for winter exposure this morning, allow extra travel time, and watch for icy patches. While snowfall remains light, the combination of wind, cold, and reduced visibility keeps winter hazards firmly in place across Boston and eastern Massachusetts.
