Mass. could see some of its last rain showers for a while later this week
As scattered storms could come and go in parts of Massachusetts early Wednesday night, another potential round of rain on Friday could be the last precipitation for a while.
"Friday will likely be our last chance for any measurable precipitation for the foreseeable future, as surface high pressure parks itself over southern New England starting this weekend and continuing into early next week," the National Weather Service wrote.
Following what should be a quiet Thursday, clouds should amass late in the day as a cold pool stalls over northern New England on Friday, forecasters said. Cold pools are dense air masses that emit chilly air when rain falls out of a thunderstorm cloud, but rain evaporates before drops hit the ground, WCNC reported.
With wind speeds likely not exceeding past 35 mph, any instability from potential storms should be minimal, forecasters said. Additionally, forecasters do not have a consensus on the exact timing for when storms could start. For now, they could begin as early as 8 a.m. or as late as 1 p.m. across southern New England. These storms are also not likely to become severe.
Temperatures on Friday should be in the high 60s and low 70s, with the cold pool disembarking from the region Sunday and Monday, before temperatures climb up again to the high 70s and low 80s by Wednesday, forecasters said.
