Massachusetts – The morning air feels brisk across eastern Massachusetts, with blue skies and a dry northwest breeze giving Boston one final stretch of calm before the pattern turns wetter. Sunny, seasonable weather continues through Friday and Saturday, but rain returns late Sunday as a stronger system pushes up the coast, hinting at a colder, early-December transition.
Today stays pleasant, with highs around 47°F under mostly clear skies. Friday mirrors that setup — sunny, breezy, and cool — before clouds slowly increase Saturday afternoon. Winds shift south by nightfall, signaling moisture on the move.
By Sunday morning, clouds will thicken and rain is likely by afternoon, with gusts near 30 mph along the coast. The National Weather Service gives a 50–80% chance of precipitation, with showers lingering through Sunday night. Roads along I-90, I-93, and Route 128 could become slick and slow, especially for those traveling back home post-holiday.
Monday turns breezy but cooler, as temperatures dip back into the upper 30s to low 40s. A few lingering rain showers or drizzle may hang on early, followed by clearing skies into Tuesday.
NOAA’s 6–10 Day Outlook shows below-normal temperatures taking hold from Dec. 2–6, a sign that winter’s first real chill is just ahead for New England.
