Boston, MA – Scattered showers are moving across Massachusetts Sunday afternoon, with heavier rain expected to develop overnight into Monday, especially in western areas of the state and parts of Connecticut.
According to the National Weather Service in Boston, showers are currently concentrated northwest of I-95 but are not expected to cause widespread flooding or significant disruption. However, rainfall will become more frequent and locally heavy tonight into early Monday, with radar models showing enhanced activity across Berkshire, Franklin, and Hampden counties, as well as northwestern Connecticut.
While eastern Massachusetts—including Boston and the I-95 corridor—may stay relatively drier, commuters heading west Monday morning should anticipate slower travel, slick roads, and reduced visibility. The heaviest bursts of rain could produce brief ponding on roadways, particularly along Route 2, I-91, and the Mass Pike corridor.
Residents are advised to check drainage near homes, drive cautiously in wet conditions, and monitor alerts for potential advisories if rainfall intensifies overnight. This system is not expected to bring severe storms, but localized downpours could linger into the Monday morning commute.
Showers are expected to taper off gradually by late Monday afternoon, with the next weather update expected early Monday morning.
