Massachusetts is gearing up for a dramatic stretch of winter weather starting Thursday, and the next seven days are bringing everything from bone-chilling temperatures to sudden snow showers and a messy mid-week storm.

Here’s your full updated forecast starting tomorrow (Thursday) through next Wednesday — accurate for Boston, Worcester, Springfield, and most of the state.

⸻

🌨️ THURSDAY: Wind, Cold & Pop-Up Snow Showers

The weather turns active fast.

By Thursday afternoon, expect:
• Powerful wind gusts up to 60–70 kph
• Quick snow showers or squalls that can make roads slick fast
• Highs around 35–40°F, dropping to the teens at night

Visibility may drop suddenly in heavier bursts of snow — especially during the evening commute.

⸻

❄️ FRIDAY: Sunshine but Extremely Cold

Friday is bright, but the cold is no joke.
• Highs only in the 20s
• Lows in the teens and single digits
• Wind chill makes it feel even colder

If you’re riding the MBTA or walking around the city, layer up heavy — this is the type of cold that hits instantly.

⸻

🌥️ SATURDAY & SUNDAY: Cloudy, Milder, but Still Chilly

The weekend brings a break from the brutal cold.

Saturday
• Mostly cloudy
• Highs in the upper 30s
• A chance of isolated snow showers

Sunday
• Clouds and sun mix
• Highs near 38–40°F
• Cold but manageable

A typical New England winter weekend.

⸻

🥶 MONDAY: The Cold Returns Hard

Monday snaps the warmth away again.
• Highs back in the 20s
• Lows drop into the single digits
• Breezy morning winds add extra bite

Expect frostbite-level cold during early commutes.

⸻

🌨️ TUESDAY: Afternoon Snow Threat

Clouds cover most of the state with light snow developing by the afternoon.
• Highs: 25–31°F
• Evening driving conditions may get slippery
• Intermittent flurries and snow showers continue off-and-on

A classic slow-and-steady winter event.

⸻

🌧️ WEDNESDAY: Snow Changes to Rain

Mid-week brings the biggest headache.
• Snow in the morning / midday
• Changing to rain or a wintry mix in the afternoon
• Highs warming into the upper 30s and low 40s
• Messy evening commute likely

This system has the potential to cause delays and slushy roads across the state.
