Boston saw a near replica of a weather day on Tuesday, mirroring the start of the work week, with partly to mostly sunny skies and highs reaching the upper 50s and low 60s across Greater Boston.
But we’re going to see the pattern become a bit unsettled over the next few days, with rain chances for Boston the rest of the work week as temperatures remain seasonal.
Portions of central New Hampshire, north of Concord, and parts of Maine, including Portland, have a frost advisory in place for overnight til around 9 a.m., Wednesday, which will likely be the last frost advisory of the season for New England.
Quick look Wednesday
Wednesday will see a weak system push into New England from the Great Lakes, with a leading warm front bringing scattered light showers across the entire region from the morning commute to the drive home and into the evening.
Precipitation will be light and mostly concentrated across Western Massachusetts and Northern New England. This doesn’t mean Greater Boston and the South Coast stay dry, but they may see longer dry stretches in between raindrops. There may even be some sun streaking through the clouds at times. It’s best to pack the umbrella just in case you’re caught in a shower or have plans to head over to Fenway for the Sox game.
Morning temperatures will be in the upper 40s and low 50s, with highs rising to the low and mid-60s under mostly cloudy skies.
Zooming into Southern New England, even the Cape and coast will likely break into the low 60s during the afternoon.
It’ll get a little breezy as the day goes on, with some wind gusts building to 20 and 30 mph during the afternoon and evening. Winds won’t be strong enough for any wind advisories, but you’ll notice them as you’re headed out for lunch or during the ride home.
Thursday: Secondary low sparks more potent showers
A secondary low will form just south of New England by Thursday morning, sparking slightly more potent showers across New England during the day.
Between Wednesday and Thursday, rain totals will likely range from a half inch to an inch.
