Badly needed rain. We got it on the most unpopular day of the week.
Now that’s timing.
But these weather systems are also dragging their feet through Southern New England. The end result is that we will wait to see the sun, but once it comes, the all-day rain will again be out of the forecast.
It’s soothing rain like today’s that will bust the drought.
From Maine to Pennsylvania, the need is real. Mostly recently, we’ve been relying on the scattered showers to fill the need. And it seems that unless we get a more widespread rainfall than we saw in this last weather system, that’s how we’ll go through the summer…wanting and needing more water.
In any event, the ‘gray matter’ hanging over us will not give up easily tomorrow. I expect some sun, but where we get it is random and brief. Thunder threat remains over Western and Central Mass. in the afternoon, with a possibility of it across the Blackstone Valley, through Rhode Island and Southeast Mass. It’s here that the ingredients are most favorable for the storms to hold together and hit hard.
We have relatively tame weather to finish the week. Temps should stay right near normal – without the bottom dropping out and without any major heat waves moving up the Eastern Seaboard.
