If you were up very early this morning, you might have caught a glimpse of the total lunar eclipse. Unfortunately, we saw a lot of clouds across our skies in the Boston area, which didn’t give some folks a great view of the Blood Worm Moon dazzling the sky this go-round. But in case you missed it, have no fear. The next total lunar eclipse will take place on March 3, 2026. Otherwise, we’re turning our attention to more springlike weather and rain on the way for your weekend.
We’ve issued a First Alert for Monday as we track chances for widespread rainfall and gusty winds up to 40-45mph

Warmer weather moves in just in time for the weekend. But there’s a caveat with the warmer temperatures. We’ve got to dodge a few raindrops, especially later in the day on Sunday.
On Saturday, much of the day will be dry, but we will see a good deal of high clouds. High temperatures will climb to near 60 in Boston by afternoon.
Weather Stories
By Sunday, as our winds pick up from the south, our high temperatures will soar into the mid 60s! The winds, in fact, could gust up to 35 mph ahead of a cold front. That front will bring us a chance of rain Sunday.
Many of you might have plans to attend the St. Patrick’s Day Parade in South Boston on Sunday. Keep in mind that a few quick, passing showers are possible late Sunday morning into the afternoon. But the bulk of the rain will arrive with the cold front late Sunday evening through Monday. Some of the rain could be heavy at times.
A few communities could see about an inch of rain from this cold front, and boy could we use it! Moderate drought conditions remain across much of the Greater Boston area.
High temperatures on Monday (St. Patrick’s Day) will be in the low 60s. By Tuesday, highs will sink into the mid-50s.
