BOSTON, Mass. – A bright and mild weekend will quickly turn gray as showers and gusty winds move across eastern Massachusetts by Monday morning. The National Weather Service warns that gusts up to 30 mph and periods of moderate rain could create slick roads for commuters on I-93, Route 128, and the Mass Pike.
Sunny skies will dominate much of Saturday, but increasing clouds Sunday signal a change. Rain will develop after midnight, with heavier showers and isolated rumbles of thunder possible early Monday. Southeast winds will strengthen to 15–20 mph, with gusts reaching near 40 mph in coastal areas and higher elevations.
Commuters should plan for extra travel time during the Monday morning rush, as rain and wind could reduce visibility and make for slower drives. Keep outdoor Halloween decorations and light yard items secured ahead of the front. While flooding isn’t expected, low-lying intersections and leaf-clogged drains could see brief ponding.
Temperatures will peak near 80°F Sunday before dropping to the upper 60s Monday as cooler, drier air filters in. The front exits quickly, leaving Tuesday and Wednesday bright and crisp with highs in the mid-60s—perfect for fall leaf viewing or late-season yardwork.
The week closes with another chance of scattered showers by Wednesday evening, but much of the upcoming stretch favors sunshine and comfortable fall air across Massachusetts.
