Residents of Boston and surrounding communities should stay alert as a November nor’easter tracks across the region this morning. The storm is expected to bring primarily cold rain to Greater Boston, with scattered showers lingering into the afternoon.
Rain for the City, Snow for the Hills
Most of Boston will see steady rain through the early hours, with temperatures hovering in the lower 40s. Higher‑elevation neighborhoods, such as those near the Worcester Hills, could see brief periods of wet snow as colder air moves in. A light coating of snow may accumulate on roadways and sidewalks in those areas.
More Snow Further West
Snow potential increases toward the Berkshires and northward into Vermont and New Hampshire. While the greatest accumulations are expected on the highest peaks of the southern Green Mountains—up to three to five inches on isolated mountain tops—most of the lower‑lying areas will remain rain‑focused.
Travel and Safety Tips
Drivers should exercise caution on hilly interior routes, especially where untreated roads could become slick. The storm’s wind field will shift from the north‑northeast, with gusts reaching 30 mph and higher gusts possible along the Cape and Islands. Keep an eye on local road reports and allow extra travel time.
Temperature Outlook
Afternoon highs in Boston will sit in the low 40s, while overnight lows dip into the mid‑30s. A winter weather advisory remains in effect until 10 a.m. Friday for Bennington County, Vermont, where isolated snow totals of three to five inches are possible on the highest mountain peaks.
Weekend Forecast
Saturday may bring a few isolated showers or light snowflakes as the nor’easter drifts eastward, but skies should clear by evening with highs in the mid‑40s. Sunday looks sunnier, with temperatures climbing into the upper 40s to near 50 °F and breezy northwest winds. Looking ahead to next week, residents can expect plenty of sunshine and a gradual warm‑up into the 60s by week’s end.
