Boston, MA In-Depth Forecast

Boston is bracing for a dynamic weather period extending from late afternoon on December 23rd into the early hours of December 24th, 2025. The forecast indicates a transition from a chance of rain and snow to more significant precipitation and widespread fog, significantly impacting visibility and travel conditions.

Starting at 3:00 PM on December 23rd, temperatures will hover around 37°F (2.78°C) with a 39% chance of mixed rain and snow. Wind will be light, coming from the South at 6 mph. As we move into the late afternoon, by 4:00 PM, the probability of precipitation rises to 48%, with the forecast shifting to "Rain And Snow Likely" and temperatures slightly increasing to 38°F (3.33°C). The wind direction will also shift slightly to the Southeast, maintaining a speed of 6 mph.

The evening hours, particularly from 5:00 PM onwards, introduce a significant element: patchy fog. At 5:00 PM, with temperatures at 36°F (2.22°C) and a 58% chance of precipitation, patchy fog is expected. This condition intensifies as the night progresses. By 6:00 PM, the temperature remains steady at 36°F (2.22°C), but the probability of precipitation climbs to 68%, accompanied by increasing humidity (91%) and light winds from the Southeast at 3 mph. This trend of patchy fog, combined with high humidity and a strong likelihood of precipitation, continues through 7:00 PM (74% chance of precipitation, 90% relative humidity) and 8:00 PM (80% chance of precipitation, 92% relative humidity), with temperatures holding at 35-36°F (1.67-2.22°C).

As we approach midnight and the early hours of December 24th, the patchy fog persists, and the chance of precipitation, while still significant, gradually decreases. From 9:00 PM to 10:00 PM, temperatures remain at 35°F (1.67°C), with precipitation probabilities at 72% and then 67%, respectively. Relative humidity stays very high, around 92-96%. By 11:00 PM on December 23rd, and into 12:00 AM and 1:00 AM on December 24th, the chance of precipitation drops to 55% and then 40%, but patchy fog remains a primary concern. Temperatures will be around 35°F (1.67°C), with winds shifting from South to Southwest and then West, maintaining a light speed of 2-3 mph.

The lowest precipitation probability in this 12-hour window occurs at 2:00 AM on December 24th, at 15%, with temperatures at 34°F (1.11°C) and winds from the West at 5 mph, still with patchy fog. Drivers and pedestrians should exercise extreme caution due to reduced visibility and potentially slick surfaces from the mixed precipitation. The high relative humidity and dew point values (consistently above 0°C) indicate that conditions are ripe for fog formation and maintenance. The slight temperature variations around freezing point also suggest that any precipitation could transition between rain, freezing rain, or snow, depending on exact local conditions.
