A rainy night
What a difference 24 hours can make! Yesterday afternoon we had temperatures hovering around 90 and today it was near 70! A lot of the had to do with a frontal boundary dropping south across the region this morning and stalling out. Along that front we saw clouds and periodic showers to help cool us down amid a northerly wind.
More widespread rains will return tonight along with some heavy downpours that will continue into the start of the Wednesday AM commute, that can produce a rainfall totals of 0.50 to 1.50 inches. The rain eases to scattered showers Wednesday morning, and these showers dissipate with the development of drier weather, especially in the afternoon. High Pressure nudges into the region to provide dry weather for much on Thursday before scattered showers come back into the picture between the late afternoon and evening.
Rain streaming north from the remains of Debby arrives between Thursday night and Friday morning. The rain is more or less anticipated to stick around until Saturday afternoon. There is good potential for a widespread 1-3 inches of rain, but we need to get closer to the event to know the details confidently and right now it looks like some of those highest totals may be out along the western New England/New York border. Wind doesn’t look to pose an impact.
