No sense going into great detail about Monday, since it’ll be mainly over by the time most of you read this. You either saw some downpours or you did not. All in all, it was not a total wash out of a day in just about all areas but a few areas did see more persistent shower and storm activity, with localized flooding being the main issue where storms lasted. Are we in for a repeat tomorrow? Yes and no. Though there will be muggy air remaining around tonight through much of tomorrow and showers\/storms can pop up at any time, some producing heavy rain, I think we really only have a 3 hour period Tuesday across southeastern New England in which the heaviest and most widespread activity will occur. This is about 11AM to about 2PM for southern NH, east central and northeastern MA, and after 2PM until about sunset for southeastern MA and RI. Once the front interacting with the muggy air pushes to the east and offshore (later Tuesday night), we will see some drier air work in and fair weather which will last through Wednesday. Another cold front will swing across the region from northwest to southeast Thursday, producing clouds and perhaps some passing showers, and introducing a cooler air mass for Thursday night through Friday night, with fair weather. High pressure settling to the south of New England will quickly cause a warm-up over the weekend, and we’ll have to watch another cold front trying to push in from the northwest on Sunday (based on current timing expectations).<\/p>\n
