An area of low pressure has stalled out just offshore of Cape Cod this morning due to a blocking high to the north. As of Thursday morning, steadier batches of rain remain just offshore of Cape Cod. Just how much of this rain activity will end up making it over land in New England remains to be seen today. The highest rain chance continues to be the South Shore and Cape Cod with showers becoming less common moving north and west. Today will likely be a mainly dry day for most in New England.
Radar as of 8am:
This system will remain parked off the coast of Cape Cod through Saturday, wobbling around as it has nowhere to go. This will continue to cycle rounds of showers and clouds into eastern New England through Saturday. Again, how much of the steadier rain actually makes it over land won’t really be known until it actually pushes to the coast. The storm does look like it will get shunted south and out to sea on Sunday, leading to a drying trend through the weekend.
