The warmest locations were spread across Southeast Mass., where temperatures rose above 65 degrees in some areas.
Rain showers are forecast to move through in the evening and overnight hours in New England Thursday. Isolated showers will continue into Friday, eventually giving way to more seasonable cooler weather by Friday night.
