Lots Of Dry Times

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 14:52:39 GMT

Sure, it was a bit of a cool breeze out there yesterday, especially at the coast, but the overall day turned out nice with highs near 60 at the coast, mid 60s for MetroWest and near 70 deep inland. Today, we’ll step it up another notch from those levels, despite the chilly start this morning as temps kick off the day in the 30s and 40s. A bit of smoke and haze will be in the sky to mix with a few afternoon cumulus clouds today, but enough sun still gets through to push temps in the upper 60s to low 70s inland. Along the immediate coast, it’ll be cooler again with an onshore breeze and temps near 60. Tomorrow looks mild with highs in the 70s to near 80. Although with a south wind, it’ll be cooler across Cape Cod and Cape Ann as temps there run in the 60s. Most of the day is dry, but between 5-9pm, I expect some scattered showers and storms to rumble on through. The best chance for a thunderstorm will be around 5pm across northern Worcester County and Southwestern NH...
