After a dry start to the week, things will turn wetter once again.
OK, it’s not quite clowns and jokers, but we’re starting the week stuck in the middle between high pressure to the northwest and low pressure to our southeast. The result will be a shield of clouds mainly across southeastern Massachusetts today, with some gusty winds near the coastline. Those clouds will start to spread farther inland tonight, with a cloudy day expected on Tuesday across the region. As some moisture rotates around that low pressure system, we may see some drizzle or showers move in late Tuesday and Tuesday evening, especially near the coast. Across the interior, temperatures could drop close to freezing Tuesday night, especially from the Merrimack Valley into southern New Hampshire, so some spotty freezing rain is possible, resulting in some slick spots of you’ll be out and about.
Showers will become a little more widespread on Wednesday as a cold front begins to approach from the west. It will turn milder ahead of the front, with temperatures likely getting into the 50s for most of the region. The front stalls out just offshore Wednesday night and a wave of low pressure will ride up it, bringing in another round of rain on Thursday. While it doesn’t look as heavy as what we had on Saturday, we could get enough to renew flooding concerns across parts of the region. That system pulls away early Friday, then high pressure builds in for later Friday and into the weekend with drier and breezy conditions.
