BOSTON, MA – After months of persistent drought, a significant weather pattern change is arriving today, bringing the region’s largest rainfall in nearly 60 days.
The Timing: What To Expect
While Wednesday remains mostly dry, the storm will gather strength over the next 24 hours. The primary impact will be felt starting Thursday, with heavy downpours expected to disrupt the Thursday evening commute.
Rain will continue through early Friday morning, providing much-needed relief to parched landscapes across the Commonwealth and Southern New Hampshire.
Temperature Rollercoaster
The region will see a sharp dip in temperatures as the storm moves through:
- Wednesday: Mild with highs in the 60s and southerly winds.
- Thursday: Onshore winds will keep temperatures struggling to reach 60°F.
- Friday: The coldest day of the week, with highs potentially stuck in the mid-50s.
Weekend Turnaround: 80s On The Way
The storm is expected to clear out rapidly by Saturday morning. A dramatic shift in wind direction will bring a “summer-like” feel back to the area:
- Saturday: Highs will surge back into the 70s.
- Sunday: Even warmer conditions with temperatures reaching near 80°F.
This warming trend is set to continue into next week. By Tuesday, interior parts of the region could see highs soaring into the mid-to-upper 80s, marking a complete seasonal shift.
