Mild before late week rain

WARM STRETCH CONTINUES

The next few days will feature slightly cool wake-up weather followed by afternoon highs in the lower 70s. That’s more of a September than November forecast!

Although we’ll see some early sun Tuesday, clouds are set to increase. There will be some showers in northern New England, but southern New England will stay dry.

Temperatures will peak Wednesday under sunny skies!

Increasing clouds Thursday will lead to our next rain in the evening, mainly north and west of Boston and quite spotty. By then it will be three weeks without measurable rainfall in Boston.

RAIN CHANCES AHEAD

An expansive storm system will move into New England Thursday night and linger through Saturday. We could see over 1″ rainfall in some areas, but the axis of heaviest rainfall will likely waiver over the next few days as the storm’s exact track and timeline comes into focus. Currently the Cape and Islands appear to see the biggest soaking.

I’ve added a WEATHER ALERT Friday as the steadiest rainfall is expected to develop during the day and continue overnight. At this time I’m not expecting flooding or severe weather.

The weekend will dry out at some point, but that timing will depend on the speed low pressure pulls away. Right now it looks like lingering showers Saturday that may taper off during the second half of the day. Sunday is favored to run dry and partly cloudy with seasonable highs in the 50s.
