Forecast: More Rain Later Is On The Way

Yesterday's rain is now over, but we're watching a new area of rain getting ready to move into the region. While the morning commute will be dry, the afternoon commute does look wet. There is some fog around this morning — watch out for that, as it can be thick in spots.

Today's weather system is a fast-moving one. The jet stream carries our storms and when it is moving quickly the storms subsequently move fast as well. This means several changes in the weather every few days. This storm will bring rain and wind, the wind strongest at the coast. Some minor coastal flooding is likely at high tide as well this afternoon and late tonight.

The rain will end late tonight and although there may be a few showers early tomorrow morning, the balance of the day does look dry. I'm expecting anywhere from a 1/2 to one inch of rain. This won't be enough to cause any major issues,but it does continue the trend of above normal precipitation we have seen this month.

Wednesday there will be a minor weather disturbance which could kick off a rain or snow shower. The emphasis for Wednesday will be for a generally dry day and that trend will continue for the rest of the week and likely into the weekend. Temperatures will be cooler than average, but may warm closer to seasonal averages as we get into this upcoming weekend.

More storminess is likely next week as the active pattern continues. Right now I don’t see any big snow events for southern New England.
