Here are the 2 rounds of thunderstorms that will impact us on Wed. They have their origins around the Great Lake and have a history of producing tornadoes on Tues. The afternoon round looks to be the strongest in western MA.

On a scale of 1-5, we are a '1' for severe weather on Wednesday. That means there is a low risk of strong thunderstorms. The biggest concern would in western MA, and the threat would be hail or gusty winds. The tornado threat remain out in the Midwest tomororw.

It's another night of severe weather over the Midwest. Some of that energy, in a much weaker form, will move toward New England on Wednesday. Expect a couple rounds of thunderstorms.

After a sunny mild day on Tuesday, showers and thunderstorms will rumble through the area on Wednesday. The best chance for rain and thunder is in the morning/ Plan on a gray, cooler day.

What a change from the weekend. We have one more mild day on Tuesday and then it's back to an unsettled and cooler pattern.

The bulk of the rain will be Sunday afternoon into the overnight. . The trend has been to start the rain later and later. If this trend continues we may not see much rain in eastern MA until toward sunset. The later start also means the rain may linger into Monday morning.

Another chilly weekend, but Saturday will be a little nicer with sunshine. Sunday will feature rain by afternoon. A warm up is on tap next week. I'm really liking the warmth AND sunshine on Tuesday. Unsettled toward mid week with a couple of chances for rain.

Back to the cool weather, especially near the coast, through the weekend. Showers arrive on Sunday and may linger into Monday morning. A nice warmup is planned next week before showers and cooler weather move in the middle of next week.

Here's how much rain to expect Sunday night into Monday morning. Not a big rainmaker but enough to impact outdoor events.

Our next chance for rain arrives Sunday. It looks to be focused on the late afternoon into the overnight. Not a huge amount of rain but enough to impact outdoor plans the second half of the day.

We have 2 chances for coastal showers tomorrow. The first in the morning will be over NE Mass. The second chance is Thursday evening and will be a little more widespread, but still focused inside of 495. The showers look to be light.
