We have had two days in a row with 70 degree temps in Boston, but the party is over Thursday as a backdoor cold front continues to push onshore and farther inland.
Temperatures across the Merrimack Valley, New Hampshire, and Maine will be in the 40s to 50s with drizzle near the coast and clouds leading to stable air.
Across southern Vermont, western Massachusetts, Connecticut, and western Rhode Island, we will feel like summertime. Temperatures jump into the 70s to low 80s in the valleys with some breaks in the clouds. Humidity will jump up and this means unstable air.
By dinnertime we have thunderstorms marching towards New England and arriving in the unstable airmass around Hartford, Connecticut. Some storms may be severe with damaging wind and hail.

By the time the storms head towards Worcester, Massachusetts, an isolated severe storm is possible. Then the line heads towards Boston and breaks apart and weakens as stable air calms down the energy.
All the rain and storms move offshore overnight.
