Today’s forecast
Thursday will be pretty gloomy, starting off with scattered showers and temperatures in the upper 40s to low 50s. Rain will continue throughout the day, with a high likelihood of widespread showers into the evening and overnight. Despite the rain and cloud cover limiting sunshine, our main source of warmth, expect highs to sit in the low to mid 60s during the afternoon. Temperatures will drop as we head into Friday morning as the backside of the storm draws in colder winds from the north.
Thursday gets the thumbs-down from Cesar.
Weekly Overview
Rain and clouds take over as we wrap up the workweek. Clouds will linger as we start off Saturday, with sunshine returning by Sunday. Temperatures will be much cooler over the weekend as winds blow in from the north, with the storm system tracking up the coast toward New England. Colder and drier air will follow into the workweek, continuing chilly conditions under mostly sunny skies.
