BOSTON, Mass. – City lights shimmer across damp pavement this Wednesday morning as low clouds sweep over the harbor and early commuters move through the drizzle. The air carries that familiar October edge — cool, thick, and restless — signaling a change that will soon bring drier, crisper days ahead.
According to the National Weather Service in Boston, showers will continue through midmorning, with a few bursts of heavier rain possible before tapering late in the day. Southeast winds could gust up to 25 mph along the coast, adding a brisk feel and slowing travel on Route 1A and I-93. Those commuting through downtown or along the Mass Pike should plan for slick roads and patchy low visibility during the heaviest rain.
By Thursday, skies begin to brighten, though a few isolated showers may still develop after midday as a weak front passes. Temperatures reach the low 60s before dipping into the 40s Thursday night. From there, high pressure builds in, bringing a stretch of sunshine and cooler air that will dominate through the weekend.
Friday’s high near 60 will feel noticeably drier, setting the tone for a classic New England fall weekend — cool mornings, crisp afternoons, and plenty of sun for leaf peepers or Halloween prep. Saturday and Sunday both look mostly sunny with highs in the mid-50s, perfect for outdoor plans or early seasonal chores.
To be fair, this pattern shift is just the kind of reset Boston’s fall weather is known for — a reminder that the march toward November has truly begun.
