Thursday looks soggy and cool, particularly in the morning. Afternoon shower will turn lighter and more scattered, eventually tapering off as low pressure starts to pull away. Rainfall totals are still a little iffy because a small wobble in the position of that low could mean the difference between a few tenths of an inch of rain and a solid soaking in Boston. The heaviest rainfall is expected along the south coast of New England closest to the offshore low. TRENDING TOWARD DRY
