Boston 25 Weather

Fog lingers, spring preview next week

WEEKEND IN VIEW

Clouds and fog will be the main story overnight across southern New England. Areas of drizzle will develop, and a few spots could even see some freezing rain or freezing fog, especially where temperatures dip close to the freezing mark. That could create a few slick spots late tonight into early Saturday morning.

A mostly cloudy and foggy start is expected Saturday. A stray sprinkle is possible early in the day, but most locations stay mainly dry. Clouds linger into the afternoon highs reaching the mid 40s.

Another round of showers moves in Saturday night and continues into early Sunday. Some of those showers may linger a bit longer on the Cape and Islands into midday Sunday. By Sunday afternoon, we will start to see improving conditions with more sunshine developing and temperatures climbing into the 50s.

WARMING NEXT WEEK

Looking ahead, a big warm-up is on the way. Sunshine and milder air arrive Monday and Tuesday with highs climbing into the 60s. That warmer weather will help melt some of the snow still on the ground across parts of the region. While that’s welcome news for many, it may also lead to rising levels on some local rivers, so we’ll be watching that closely.

A cold front approaches midweek. High temperatures Wednesday will still reach the 50s, but clouds will increase ahead of our next chance for rain. Showers look possible from Wednesday into Thursday as that system moves through.
