Boston, MA – Rain will sweep across Massachusetts on Saturday, bringing wet and foggy conditions to much of the state. Travelers are urged to exercise caution, as slippery roads and reduced visibility are expected throughout the morning and afternoon hours.
According to the National Weather Service, rain will begin early Saturday morning, with the heaviest precipitation likely between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m. Morning commuters can expect foggy patches, especially on interstates like I-90 and I-93, as east winds pick up to 14 mph, with gusts reaching 30 mph.
