Unsettled weather sticks around for the next several days — and that includes our weekend.
Waves of rain (or storms) will be around as an area of low pressure passes by. Thursday morning, we picked up 0.5-1.5 inches of rain in areas across southern Massachusetts, Connecticut, and Rhode Island.
We have chipped away at our drought over the last few weeks, too! The latest drought map was issued Thursday morning (does not include rain after Tuesday of this week) and shows only eastern New England with still abnormally dry or moderate drought.
Highs Thursday reach the 70s to low 80s, with the coast staying in the upper 50s to 60s with a southeast wind or seabreeze. At any point, a shower or storm may redevelop. Overnight, we dry off and fog develops as temps stay in the 50s to low 60s.
Lots of clouds and fog will be around for Friday morning, and this could take most of the day to thin out. So late day breaks of sun will help to get interior spots in the low 80s, while 70s to 60s will be found near the shore or under the clouds.
Humidity increases a bit more, with heat index values in the low to mid 80s. Ongoing storms and showers will make their way across upstate New York late in the day, and this activity may march into the Northeast (Berkshires) on Friday night, with isolated pop up storms possible in the North Country in the late afternoon too…
