Rain later in the week

TONIGHT

We’re in for a cool night across with temperatures dipping into the upper 30s to low 40s. If you’re heading out early Tuesday, you’ll want to grab a jacket.

NEXT FEW DAYS

Tuesday will be another bright and breezy day with plenty of sunshine throughout the afternoon and highs reaching the upper 50s. While it’s going to be pleasant overall, the combination of dry conditions and winds will keep the elevated risk for brush fires in place. If you’re outdoors, stay aware of any fire danger in your area.

The dry stretch continues on Wednesday, with afternoon highs in the mid-50s. The fire risk remains elevated, and we’re still waiting on some much-needed rain.

RAIN ON THE WAY

Finally, relief is in sight! A more substantial weather system will arrive Thursday, bringing with it some rain. Rainfall amounts are expected to range from 1/2″ to 1″ in many locations. While this is a welcome change, it’s unfortunately not enough to make a serious dent in our ongoing drought conditions.

As the rain moves out, cooler air will settle in, bringing seasonable temperatures for the end of the week. Expect highs to range from the low 50s in Boston to the upper 40s in the suburbs. In the higher elevations across New England, we may even see a few flurries, with light snow possible Friday and Saturday.

Stay tuned for the latest updates!
