More rain could come to Mass. this week, with thunderstorms likely to come after
Rainfall could make its return to Massachusetts on Friday, as thunderstorms could then follow going into the weekend.
Conditions should remain sunny and warm on Wednesday and Thursday, with a chance of early morning fog on Thursday, according to the National Weather Service. But then a large trough over most of the eastern United States, bringing with it a warm and wet air mass.
This air mass is expected to bring with it scattered rain showers, with as much as 1 and a half inches of rain to potentially fall, forecasters said.
"Difficult to time exact periods of rainfall, but generally anytime between Thursday night and Saturday night looks to feature a chance for rain," forecasters wrote. "Perhaps best chances being Thursday night into early Friday and Saturday afternoon/evening."
Daytime highs on Friday are expected to be between 77 and 82 degrees, according to the weather service.
Though any instability should be marginal, severe weather is unlikely on Friday, forecasters said. The arrival of a cold front could instigate thunderstorms on Saturday, though it is unclear when exactly any storms could appear that day.
Boston and Worcester are likely to see rain showers after 1 p.m., but conditions on Saturday should be sunny in Boston, foggy in Worcester before 10 a.m., forecasters said. Springfield could see showers between 1 and 2 p.m., with a chance for more rain and then thunderstorms after 2 p.m.
Highs on Saturday could be in the mid-80s before dipping down into the low to mid-70s on Sunday through Tuesday, after the front leaves, forecasters added.
