Tuesday, March 17, 2026, is starting on a raw, gray note in Boston, with cloudy skies, blustery conditions and highs near 41°F. West winds are expected to gust up to about 35 mph, and a quick-hitting band of rain is likely to slide through during the mid-morning commute between 10 a.m. and 11 a.m. before brighter skies try to make a comeback later in the day.
Midmorning Burst, Blustery Afternoon
Scattered rain showers look most likely between 10 a.m. and 11 a.m. on Tuesday, March 17, 2026, before drier air moves in and skies turn partly sunny. West winds should run 16–22 mph with gusts as high as 35 mph, and forecasters note a few spots could briefly see gusts in the 25–40 mph range as temperatures slip back into the 30s this afternoon. A few flurries could pop up over the higher terrain to the west. This guidance comes from the National Weather Service Boston.
Travel And Airport Notes
At Boston Logan (KBOS), the morning frontal passage may bring short stretches of low ceilings and gusty crosswinds, which can trigger brief flight delays. Travelers are encouraged to check flight status with their airlines and Massport before heading out, and to build in extra time for drop-offs and security. Drivers on exposed bridges and highways may feel sudden gusts, so it is a good idea to secure loose outdoor items and keep an eye out for any falling branches. For live arrivals and departures, see Massport.
