The weekend will start off rainy, but residents can expect a sunny turnaround soon. Over the last few days, some areas have experienced significant rainfall, accumulating over an inch and a half. In certain regions, particularly in western parts of the state, heavy rainfalls of two to three inches were reported. Boston and its surrounding areas are forecasted to see increased precipitation shortly, especially during the evening.
This rainfall is beneficial in improving drought conditions, although it will take some time for the moisture to filter into the subsoil. Tonight, the heaviest rains will likely clear out by around 9:00 PM, with more showers possible overnight, accompanied by occasional thunder. Although the storms pose no severe weather threat, thunder is expected.
By tomorrow morning, scattered showers will linger, but skies are anticipated to clear in the afternoon, leading into a beautiful Mother’s Day on Sunday, featuring full sunshine and temperatures reaching 70 degrees. The forecast remains positive for the coming days, with dry and sunny weather expected well into next week, offering a nice break after the recent rains.
Overall, while this rainy start may be inconvenient, it sets up for a hopeful and bright weekend ahead, perfect for outdoor plans or family gatherings.
