Boston’s Slushy Weather: What to Expect

Boston is stuck in a long melt‑down period.
Snowbanks still line the streets, pushing snow away but trapping water that turns into puddles. At night, the cold hardens these pools again—only to repeat the cycle the next day. It’s a tough situation for drivers and walkers alike.

This Week

• Today: A brief window of clearer skies may open in the morning before clouds roll in from the afternoon.
• Friday & Saturday: Brighter conditions are expected, with Saturday shining the best thanks to sunny weather and temperatures staying in the upper 40s.

Next Week

• Sunday: A few light snow showers are possible.
• Monday: Expect a sharp drop in temperature and more precipitation.
• Tuesday: Snow may mix with rain, turning into a wet storm as temperatures climb back into the 40s.
• Overall: A couple of inches of snow is still possible, but most of the week will likely feel wetter than snowy.

Context

Boston’s winter has been the snowiest since 2014‑15. The last two seasons (2021‑22 and 2017‑18) were close to the current total of more than 60 inches. This year’s mix of cold air and precipitation is keeping the city in a continuous melt‑cycle, making every day feel like an ongoing winter challenge.
