Weather: Rain Again

Rain again

As has been the pattern this winter, a large storm will pass by just to the east and south of Boston, and temperatures will again be warm enough that we should see the whole lot come down as rain. The rain will begin early tonight and precipitation totals are likely to reach around an inch when all is said and done. Interior portions of New England should be in for quite a dose of snow. The rain will continue for at least the early part of Wednesday, and a light isolated drizzle may hang on through to Thursday, but the storm will get sucked off into the Atlantic jet stream. By Friday we should see the return of some sunnier weather.

Today: Overcast and moderating southerly winds. Rain beginning during the evening. High 42°F (6°C).

Tonight: Rain, heavy at times. Becoming very windy. Low 32°F (0°C).

Wednesday: A windy start to the day. Rain, diminishing during the day. High 40°F (4°C). Low 33°F (0°C).

Thursday: Some clearing likely. High 39°F (4°C). Low 28°F (­2°C).
