This evening's cloud cover thins out overnight, but quickly comes back (along with showers) tomorrow.
Clouds have pushed into the region for this evening as an area of low pressure rides up the coastline. Fortunately, a quick check of the radar will show that the rain associated with this system will be confined to eastern New England tonight. Along with that, showers and thunderstorms off to our west in New York and Pennsylvania will be staying out of the region as well...for now. Clouds may thin out a bit overnight, but some areas of fog will settle in as well.
Wednesday will feature a better chance of showers throughout the day. A disturbance coming in via the larger upper-level trough will trigger numerous rain showers and a few rumbles of thunder across the region. That line of rain across to our west tonight could pop up in very similar fashion over western Massachusetts tomorrow...meaning some brief heavy downpour are possible. It remains mostly cloudy and muggy with high temperatures only near 80 degrees. A stray shower may sneak into Thursday as well.
We'll catch a break from the clouds and scattered showers on Friday. Partly cloudy skies are expected to start off the weekend...but it will not last all the way through. Showers and thunderstorms will be back by Sunday and the start of the workweek.
Tonight: Variable clouds, muggy, areas of fog, low 65.
Wednesday: Mostly cloudy, scattered showers, muggy, high 80.
Thursday: Partly sunny, an isolated shower, high 86.
Friday: Mostly sunny, high 86.
