Tuesday will be similar to Monday for New England with highs in the 40s north to 50s south. The day will remain mostly cloudy as a warm front approaches from the west. This front will begin to push into western New England this afternoon and evening. The warm front will push across New England overnight tonight, spreading across all but eastern Maine by Wednesday morning. This front will usher in both much warmer temperatures and much needed shower chances.
This warm front will carry with it an increase in moisture in the atmosphere, which will help scattered showers break out this evening across western New England. These showers will push eastward throughout the overnight hours. The best forcing for showers will be across northern New England. Widespread light rain is looking more likely for Vermont and New Hampshire tonight. There will be less, lighter and more scattered activity in southern New England.
With that said, shower chances appear to have increased for southern New England over the past 24 hours or so. It will be light and still won’t be enough to make a dent in the rainfall deficit or end the wildfire risk, but we’ll take whatever we can get at this point.
