The weather forecast for Wednesday predicts a damp start followed by brighter conditions in New England as a new system arrives. Morning temperatures will hover in the low to mid-50s, gradually climbing to the mid-60s due to a southwesterly flow bringing warmer air. Highs across the region are expected to vary, with most of New England experiencing temperatures in the 60s.
Wednesday Weather: Wet Start with Sunny Finish
A front is expected to pass through the area by late morning, leading to some clearing in the sky. This clearing will create opportunities for sunshine in the afternoon and evening. However, the system is forecasted to stall over eastern Canada, which may result in scattered showers in parts of the region.
Morning Rain and Afternoon Sunshine
Expect scattered morning showers, with the potential for a rumble of thunder as the front moves through. Rainfall totals may reach about a quarter of an inch in Boston, while regions from Worcester to New Hampshire could see totals of half an inch to an inch. Despite the rain, the intensity is not anticipated to cause flooding, as the ground conditions in Northern New England remain dry.
- Morning temperatures: Low to mid-50s
- Afternoon highs: Mid-60s
- Rainfall in Boston: Approximately 0.25 inches
- Rainfall in Northern New England: Up to 1 inch possible
A light breeze of 10 to 15 mph will persist throughout the day, with gusts reaching 20 to 25 mph. The afternoon and evening are expected to remain mostly dry, although some isolated showers cannot be entirely ruled out.
