Some Mid-Week Rain

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 17:23:09 GMT

Patchy fog and patchy mist kick off this Monday morning as many of us head back to work, and some of us back to school! For the start of school in Worcester, today looks pretty quiet with temps running into the mid to upper 70s this afternoon under a partly sunny sky. That’ll generally be the theme across much of the region as partial sunshine wins out and temps hold in the low 70s at the coast and run 75-80 inland. Low clouds and patchy fog reform tonight, yielding to a few breaks of sun mid to late morning tomorrow. We’ll likely track some scattered showers tomorrow afternoon, especially south of the Mass Pike. Scattered showers and storms run through tomorrow night into Wednesday, with some localized bands of heavy rain possible Wednesday morning/midday. Wednesday afternoon, the rain chances start to drop off and by Wednesday night, lower humidity and dry skies come rushing in. That’ll set up a fantastic Thursday. As high pressure settles in to end the week, ver...
