Boston Faces Unsettled Weather Pattern as Weekend Rain Chances Loom Boston is set to experience another round of scattered rain and light snow showers this weekend, continuing a trend of wet weather that has dominated the region. The last completely dry weekend in the city occurred on February 14-15, marking a four-week streak of precipitation. Meteorologists warn that the spring weather pattern remains volatile, with multiple weak systems expected to bring light rain to Greater Boston and parts of New England. The upcoming weekend will see temperatures gradually rise into the 50s, with mostly cloudy skies and a southwesterly wind flow. On Friday, a warming trend will push temperatures into the low 50s, accompanied by scattered showers that are likely to develop ahead of a weak cold front moving south from Canada. While the overall precipitation is expected to be minimal, some snowfall could occur in Northern New England, particularly in Central and Northern Maine, where up to 6 inches of snow is possible. Saturday will bring a mix of warm, partly sunny conditions and lingering rain chances. Highs will remain in the low to mid-50s across Southern New England, with the Cape staying cooler at mid-40s. Light showers are expected to persist in Greater Boston during the early morning hours before clearing up in the afternoon. However, snow or a wintry mix may return to parts of Northern New England, with Northern Maine facing the highest snowfall totals. Sunday will see a return to wet conditions as another weather system moves into the region. While the morning hours will feature a mix of sun and clouds, scattered light showers are expected to increase in the afternoon. The Cape and Islands will remain cool, with highs in the mid-40s, while Southern New England will see temperatures rise into the 50s.#boston #new_england #greater_boston #central_massachusetts #northern_maine
New England Braces for Another Messy Storm After Recent Ice Event After Tuesday night’s storm left a glaze of ice on the ground for many Southern New Englanders, creating slow commutes into work, the skies cleared and sunshine pushed temperatures to the upper 40s across Greater Boston. A few areas reached 50 degrees, and many observed snow melting during the warm day. However, another storm is expected to move into New England on Thursday afternoon, lasting into the early hours of Friday. This storm will mirror Tuesday’s mix of snow, sleet, ice, and rain. The upcoming storm will begin with a dry start on Thursday, followed by a messy night. Temperatures during the commute into work will range in the upper 20s under cloudy skies, with highs likely reaching the low 40s for most of the region. Boston and coastal Southern New England may stay in the upper 30s. The storm’s mix of precipitation will include snowflakes, sleet, and freezing rain, with the wintry mix arriving in Greater Boston by mid to late afternoon. This could lead to another challenging commute home, so drivers should plan for extra travel time. Winter weather advisories for accumulating snow and sleet are in place for much of the region starting Thursday evening and continuing into Friday. Precipitation is expected to begin falling by late morning across areas like Worcester, Providence, Western Mass, and Connecticut, though getting to work should remain dry. The storm’s intensity isn’t the main concern, but the combination of warmer early March temperatures and near or subfreezing nighttime conditions will create mixed precipitation. The wintry mix is likely to cover most of Massachusetts, southern Vermont, and New Hampshire. A transition to plain snow may occur overnight north of the Mass Pike, but more likely in New Hampshire and Vermont.#boston #new_hampshire #massachusetts #new_england #greater_boston
