Massachusetts, get ready—Mother Nature is about to throw everything she’s got at you. Expect rain, snow, and icy conditions this weekend, and yes, travel could be a headache. Here’s the lowdown:
Friday: Wet, Gloomy, and Slippery
Cloudy skies will stick around most of the day, with rain rolling in by the afternoon. Temps will be around 40°F (4°C) in Boston and just a few degrees colder in Worcester and Springfield. Overnight, temperatures will drop to the mid-20s, which means that wet roads could freeze up and turn dangerous. If you’re driving Friday evening, take it slow—you don’t want any surprises on the road.
Saturday: Cold, But Bright
The rain clears out, but don’t expect a cozy Saturday. Cold air moves in, and even though the sun will make an appearance, it won’t be enough to warm things up. Highs will barely reach 31°F (-1°C), and with the windchill, it’ll feel even colder. Morning lows will be in the teens—perfect for staying under a blanket or making hot cocoa, not so much for outdoor plans.
Sunday: Snow Could Be Back
Clouds roll back in on Sunday, and there’s a chance of snow or flurries in the afternoon, especially around Springfield. It won’t be a blizzard, but even light snow could make for slick roads. Highs will hover near 31°F (-1°C) in Boston and just a bit colder in other areas. If you have travel plans, check the conditions before heading out.
What You Should Know:
- Friday: Keep an umbrella handy and be cautious driving at night.
- Saturday: Bundle up—it’s going to be cold and windy.
- Sunday: Snow or no snow, slippery roads could make driving tricky.
Final Tip: Stay flexible with travel plans, and if you can, enjoy the weekend indoors. Sometimes, the best way to survive winter is with a warm drink and nowhere to be!
