Humidity on the rise, shower chances increase

COMFY EVENING AHEAD

Humidity will increase a little bit overnight but we’re forecasting dry conditions with overnight lows in the lower 60s. Winds will be out of the southeast to start becoming light after 1 AM. Clouds will increase ahead of rain chances much later on Thursday night.

NEXT RAIN

We’ll start off tomorrow morning once again with bright skies, but clouds will increase with a chance of showers late. You’ll notice an uptick in humidity too as showers and storms start to develop in western New England, potentially reaching central and eastern MA in the evening or night. It looks like any rain will hold off in Boston until after dinnertime, but central and western MA could see rain earlier.

There is a NEAR total lunar eclipse (96% coverage) tomorrow night that will peak at 12:12 AM, but unfortunately clouds and spotty showers are likely to obscure the view locally.

Friday, like Thursday, will be partly cloudy and mostly dry. I can’t rule out a spot shower or storm through the afternoon. Total rainfall will be less than 0.25″, or even less than 0.1″, for most. It will also be quite humid, hinting at the potential for a few downpours as well.

WEEKEND IN VIEW

Bright weather will return for the weekend with a drop in humidity. Highs are expected to be seasonable too, ranging from the mid-70s to low-80s for Southern New England.
