THURSDAY SHOWERS
You’ll want the rain gear with wet roads and periods of steady light rain and drizzle through the morning commute.
The steadiest rain will taper around midday, but spotty showers will linger this afternoon. Clouds will hold tough all day, and temperatures will stay on the cooler side, topping out only in the mid 50s.
Skies will eventually clear overnight with some pockets of fog.
HEADING INTO THE WEEKEND
Friday brings a much-needed improvement, with sunshine returning and highs climbing into the low 60s for the first day of May. It will be a great day to get outside.
The weekend forecast looks wetter. Saturday will be mostly cloudy with highs in the upper 50s. While a spot shower will be on radar during the day, most communities should remain dry.
A storm passing offshore could graze us with rain Sunday. Eastern and southeastern MA are most likely to see a rainy morning and lunchtime with afternoon improvements. Confidence is still low on exactly how far north and west the precipitation will get, so check back for updates as we fine-tune the forecast.
WARMING NEXT WEEK
Looking ahead, sunshine returns Monday with highs back in the 60s. Even better, a warming trend develops next week, with many towns reaching the 70s by Tuesday and Wednesday with some thunderstorms well north and west.
