Expert Commentary on Weather Conditions
Meteorologists like Dave Epstein from The Boston Globe and David Williams from WCVB are emphasizing the high moisture relative humidity with cold temperatures contributing to the frosty conditions. David Williams also mentions an unsettled weekend with a chance of light freezing drizzle and rain on Saturday, followed by steadier rain on Sunday and into Monday morning. Vicki Graf from Boston 25 warns of icy roads early on Saturday and advises dressing in layers for the cold start.

Eric Fisher from WBZ adds a touch of humor by mentioning several chances for a “free car wash” over the next six days, as showers are expected throughout the weekend and into the following week. He also notes the need to watch out for spotty areas of freezing drizzle on Saturday and looks ahead to milder and wetter conditions as the snow and ice melt off.
