After a dry but gloomy start to the weekend, we turn the gloom up a notch Sunday, with a slow-moving cold front expected to move through the area.

Showers will start in Worcester around midnight, with an isolated thunderstorm or two possible. Storms may include some pea-size hail, wind gusts to 40mph, but should remain under severe criteria.

Rain will arrive in Boston quite a bit later, generally mid-morning, with some embedded heavier showers and occasional thunder.

The front starts to pull out of the area late afternoon, but not without leaving behind some much-needed rain across the area.

Behind the front, the upcoming week looks cool and unsettled, with highs expected in the 50s all week.
