Boston, MA – Massachusetts residents should prepare for a significant weather shift as heavy rain moves into the area Thursday through Friday morning. The National Weather Service forecasts up to an inch of rain in many locations, with Chatham, Gloucester, and Hyannis facing the highest chances of heavier precipitation.
According to the National Weather Service, the rainfall is expected to begin early Thursday morning, intensifying throughout the day. Commuters traveling on major roadways, including Route 1 and I-95, should plan for slower travel due to wet roads and reduced visibility. Winds could gust up to 25 mph, adding to potential hazards.
