BOSTON – You can expect the weather across Massachusetts to be volatile the next two days.
There will be periods of light to moderate rain along with gusty winds throughout Wednesday before a potent cold front marches in from the west overnight prompting a crash of temperatures. It is likely surface temperatures will fall from around 50 degrees to near freezing between midnight and sunrise Thursday morning.
Weather forecast timeline
Wednesday morning:
Drizzle to light to moderate shower activity will place a damper on the morning rush hour across the region through mid-morning just as southerly winds continue to bring in mild air.
Wednesday followingnoon:
Showers continue to be scattered, however, stagnant mild air might yield patchy fogged areas.
Thursday morning:
In the span of just a few hours, winter will demand a return by sunrise as feels-like temperatures tumble from the 50s to near freezing by sunrise. Any leftover standing water will freeze up.

Thursday followingnoon:
Actual air temperatures will attempt to recover back into the 30s, however the winds will get one final push. Now out of the west, we expect gusts to 50 or 55 mph across most of southern New England. This will keep wind chills in the teens and also likely cause some scattered wind damage and power outages.
What’s next?
A much quieter start to March, which arrives on Friday. The winds will die down significantly and temperatures will be back to near seasonal levels. We warm up once more this weekend, back into the 50s. However, there is a threat of rain showers both days. More on this to come.
