Boston 25 Weather

Sunday night soaking

SUNDAY RAIN

Clouds will increase today. The first half of the day will remain dry, and probably early afternoon too. In fact, it’s a tough call whether showers reach Gillette for the end of the Patriot’s game.

By mid to late afternoon rain is expected. It’s reasonable to plan on showers by 5 PM. Rain will turn heavier in the evening with embedded downpours expected 8 PM - 2 AM. After that rain will taper off and end by sunrise Monday. I have us on a Weather Alert for areas of heavy rain and poor visibility this evening, but I’m not expecting significant impacts like widespread flooding locally.

Rainfall totals will average about an inch in southern New England. Some spots could see as much as 2″, others as little as 0.5″.

MONDAY IMPROVEMENTS

Showers should end before sunrise Monday. Early clouds will make way to partly to mostly sunny skies in the afternoon. Highs will bounce back into the 60s, if not the lower 70s in some towns!

TUESDAY DROP

A front will drape over New England Tuesday with cold, rainy weather to the north and mild, dry weather south. The position of that front will dictate the cutoff to the cool showers. Right now it looks like most of NH, VT, and ME will be dreary and MA, RI, CT will be generally dry during the day. Showers may dip into the Boston area Tuesday night, but Wednesday looks dry and briefly warm.
