Massachusetts — The Halloween morning air feels heavy and damp across eastern Massachusetts as a steady rain and fog sweep through the Boston metro area. Streetlights glow through mist, leaves cling to wet sidewalks, and wind gusts rattle early commuters on I-93 and Route 1.
The National Weather Service in Norton has issued a Wind Advisory in effect until 5 a.m. Saturday, with gusts up to 45 mph possible, especially near the coast. These winds, combined with periods of heavy rain, could cause minor travel delays, slick roads, and scattered power outages, particularly in exposed areas.
By midmorning, the rain should taper to lighter showers, with patchy fog lingering through early afternoon. Trick-or-treaters will face breezy but improving conditions this evening as skies begin to clear from west to east.
Saturday ushers in a completely different feel — dry, cool, and sunny. Highs will reach the mid-50s, with a refreshing northwest breeze replacing the humid air. It’s perfect for cleanup, late yardwork, or outdoor errands after a soggy Halloween. Sunday will stay mild and mostly sunny before clouds increase late in the day, signaling the next weak system sliding in by Monday afternoon with a few light showers possible.
Looking further ahead, early November trends show a gradual cool-down midweek. Models hint at colder air filtering south by next weekend, which could bring the season’s first frost inland — and a few flurries across northern New England if the pattern holds.
And don’t forget — Daylight Saving Time ends at 2 a.m. Sunday. Turn clocks back an hour and enjoy a crisp, clear sunrise as New England officially welcomes November’s early chill.
