Warm, Brighter Saturday Before Steady Monday Rain and a Midweek Cold Snap

Forecasters expect a coastal-starting rain to slow commutes Monday, with modest totals still helpful for Maine's drought.

Overview

  • Showers are departing today with clearing skies and a brief warm-up to around 60 degrees in Boston and upper 50s elsewhere.
  • Sunday trends mostly dry with increasing clouds, a few late-day coastal showers, and some morning snow showers possible at higher elevations in Maine.
  • A more organized rain arrives early Monday at the coast and spreads inland through the day, likely affecting both the morning and evening commutes.
  • Periods of steadier rain are anticipated Monday, but most locations are projected to receive less than about a half inch.
  • Colder air follows the system, bringing the coldest stretch of the season midweek with highs in the 40s, lower wind-chill values, and a rain-to-snow risk in northern and mountainous areas.
