Cooler pattern on the way
TURNING UNSETTLED Hopefully you enjoyed those 70s, 80s, and sun yesterday. Mostly cloudy skies return today with mostly dry weather. Spot showers will speckle radar at any given time today, mostly across the interior. Any rain will be low impact with little coverage. Highs will still make it to about 70 degrees, so “MILD” will sum up the afternoon. Steadier rain is set to arrive from south to north overnight. 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
