Boston 25 Weather

Nor’easter arrives today

WET WEATHER MOVES IN

Showers will fill in across Massachusetts during the day Thursday with some the steadiest, heaviest rain expected in the evening or night. Rain will continue Friday, but it doesn’t look as heavy. Rainfall totals will likely land on either side of 1″ in Southern New England.

Wind will peak Thursday night and Friday. Sustained NE winds 10-20 mph will gust 30-45 mph, strongest along the coast. That will fall below Wind Advisory criteria. Additionally, astronomical LOW tide should help minimize the risk for coastal flooding.

A couple inches of mountain snow are possible from the Berkshires, to the Green Mountains, and Monadnocks. The Worcester Hills may be a brief slushy coating stick to the grass, but it really doesn’t look cold enough to stick to the pavement. Look for accumulation Thursday night to Friday in those spots.

WEEKEND IN VIEW

Clouds will hang around Saturday, perhaps a few early showers at the coast or Cape. Overall it looks dry, but kind of dim. Sunday will be slightly warmer and brighter.
