Inland locations will still reach the mid 80s to 90 during the afternoon with a few showers and thunderstorms popping up later in the day and evening.
By Wednesday, all of New England cools off under mostly cloudy skies as a wave of low pressure moves through the region bringing some beneficial rain showers along with some thunder that lasts into Wednesday night. These thunderstorms promise to pack a punch but not severe, for now. We do expect gusty winds and small hail from these cells.
Thursday will remain mostly cloudy with cooler than average temps along with the threat for afternoon showers. More rain showers possible again Friday, but we’re seeing a bit of uncertainty as for the timing as another wave of low pressure moves through the region.
