URGENT UPDATE: Heavy rain is sweeping across Massachusetts this morning, with the National Weather Service warning of potentially heavy downpours, especially in Worcester and Boston. Fortunately, forecasters predict that this rain will be quick-moving, paving the way for partial sunshine by the afternoon.
The last of the steady rain is expected to clear coastal areas by mid to late morning, providing a brief respite for residents. However, those in the affected areas should prepare for intense rainfall this morning.
Temperatures this morning remain mild, with highs reaching the lower to middle 60s. The Berkshires are forecasted to be the coldest region, with a high of around 59 degrees and a low of 35 degrees. In contrast, Springfield and Worcester can expect highs around 64 degrees and lows of 41 degrees. Boston is set to be the warmest city, hitting 66 degrees with a low of 54 degrees.
Looking ahead, Thursday and Friday are likely to bring considerable cloud cover, with temperatures hovering in the upper 50s to lower 60s. While these days will primarily remain dry, there is a slight chance of spot showers, particularly in the afternoons, adding a layer of unpredictability to the mid-week weather.
The weekend will usher in significantly cooler conditions, with high temperatures dipping into the 50s and overnight lows plummeting into the upper 20s and 30s. This represents a shift to temperatures that are slightly below normal for this time of year.
