Drier weather is on the way, but the week will start off cool and wet.

The remains of Tropical Storm Ophelia will pass south of the region today, with more clouds, some rain showers, especially south of the Mass Pike, and mainly through early afternoon, and breezy conditions, due to the gradient between what’s left of Ophelia and the large high pressure area well to the north. An upper-level low swings through on Tuesday with more clouds, and possibly a few showers,, but most of us will remain dry. High pressure then builds in for the rest of the week and the weekend with dry and seasonably cool conditions. There will be some disturbed weather hanging around to the south during the end of the week and the weekend, but for now at least, it looks like the high pressure area should keep us dry.
