BOSTON, MA – The harbor glows faintly under a pale dawn sky this Tuesday morning as Boston wakes to a mild 54°F and light winds sweeping off the water. But clouds will thicken quickly, setting the stage for a wet and breezy midweek stretch before cooler, calmer air returns by the weekend.
According to the National Weather Service in Boston/Norton, Tuesday will bring bright breaks early before a system moves in from the west. Showers are expected to develop late Tuesday night and become more widespread by Wednesday morning, likely peaking through the afternoon commute. Winds from the southwest could gust up to 25 mph, especially along coastal routes and higher terrain west of I-95.
Highs will hover in the mid-60s Wednesday before a gradual cooldown. Rain may total a half inch or more in some spots, with brief downpours reducing visibility on Route 128 and the Mass Pike. Drier air filters in Wednesday night, though a stray shower could linger near Cape Ann or the South Shore before skies clear.
Thursday turns brisk but sunny with highs near 61°F—classic fall weather across eastern Massachusetts. By Friday morning, lows in the low 40s could dip toward the upper 30s inland, hinting at the region’s first First Fall Frost potential by early next week.
The weekend looks inviting: mostly sunny skies, light winds, and highs in the upper 50s to near 60°F. For now, Boston’s weather stays transitional—wet enough to remind residents that late October means layering up and keeping an umbrella handy.
