Areas vulnerable include Metro Boston and I-95 belt westward and northward. Temperatures should rise sufficiently, albeit slowly, especially over interior valley areas, so that the icing issue comes to an end during the midday hours. By then, most of the patchy rainfall, associated with an approaching warm front, will have ended. The front will take until Sunday to fully push through the region, probably accompanied by some additional light rainfall, but this time with surface temperatures above freezing across the region &#8211; so no icing threat. While the low pressure area parenting that front passes to our north, its trailing cold front will bring a ribbon of rainfall to the region Monday, mainly during the first half of the day, before the front passes and introduces a drying westerly air flow later in the day. A bubble of high pressure passing south of the region on the final day of 2024 Tuesday will exert enough influence for partial sunshine. Another low pressure system will be heading our way though, and 2025 will begin with an unsettled day Wednesday. The track of this low will be close to the region, and enough cold air may be present over interior locations for some mixed rain\/snow or even some patchy icing conditions at least at the onset. It&#8217;s a bit too soon to pin down the details of this system, so check updates!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>TODAY: Cloudy. Periods of light rain with icing inland locations morning to midday. Patchy drizzle with freezing drizzle inland thereafter. Highs 32-39, coldest interior locations north of I-90 and west of I-95, except 36-43 Cape Cod \/ Islands. Wind calm through midday then SE up to 10 MPH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>TONIGHT: Cloudy. Areas of fog. Patchy drizzle, which may freeze on surfaces far north and west of Boston initially. Temperatures rise to 40-47. Wind SE up to 10 MPH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>SUNDAY: Cloudy. Areas of fog. An additional period or two of rain possible. Highs 45-52, mildest interior locations south of I-90. Wind SE 5-15 MPH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>SUNDAY NIGHT: Overcast. Areas of fog. Temperatures steady 45-52 evening, may rise slightly overnight. Wind SE to S 5-15 MPH, higher gusts South Coast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>MONDAY: Overcast with areas of fog and widespread rain showers  morning-midday. Breaking clouds later in the day. Highs 50-57. Wind SE 5-15 MPH with higher gusts, shifting to SW.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>MONDAY NIGHT: Partly cloudy. Lows 31-38. Wind W 5-15 MPH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>TUESDAY: Partly sunny. Highs 41-48.
