Soak up the sun now\u2014wet weather looms<\/strong><\/p>\n Enjoy the sunny skies and mild air<\/strong> today across Massachusetts<\/strong>, because rain is knocking at the door<\/strong> tonight. According to NBC10 Boston\u2019s Pete Bouchard and Tevin Wooten<\/strong>, we\u2019re bracing for a return of steady rain<\/strong> that will stretch from Friday into early Saturday<\/strong>, with significant moisture and cooler temperatures.<\/p>\n After a bright and pleasant Thursday<\/strong>, showers will begin tonight<\/strong>, with embedded downpours<\/strong> in some spots. This first band won\u2019t bring strong winds, but it will begin a soggy stretch<\/strong> that doesn\u2019t let up quickly.<\/p>\n Friday\u2019s weather will feel more like March<\/strong> than May. Temperatures<\/strong> will stall in the upper 40s to low 50s<\/strong> \u00b0F (8\u201311 \u00b0C<\/strong>), staying nearly unchanged<\/strong> from morning through night. While there may be a brief dry pause during the early commute<\/strong>, expect moderate to heavy rain<\/strong> for most of the day, adding to already saturated ground<\/strong>.<\/p>\n The air will feel damp and raw<\/strong>, with just enough wind to bite<\/strong>, though nothing severe is forecasted. As the day continues, heavier downpours<\/strong> could return by Friday night<\/strong>, raising the risk of minor flooding<\/strong> in low-lying areas, especially where rainfall totals reach 2.5\u20133 inches<\/strong> (63\u201376 mm<\/strong>).<\/p>\n The rain tapers early Saturday<\/strong>, but don\u2019t expect sunlight to flood in immediately<\/strong>. Skies will stay gray<\/strong> through the morning<\/strong>, with gradual clearing into the afternoon<\/strong>. While not a full washout, it will feel damp and sluggish<\/strong> until at least early-to-mid afternoon<\/strong>.<\/p>\n In what feels like a rare triumph for May<\/strong>, Mother\u2019s Day is expected to be sunny and dry<\/strong>. Temperatures will climb back into the low 70s \u00b0F<\/strong> (21\u201323 \u00b0C<\/strong>), with a steady breeze<\/strong>\u2014a welcome change from the soggy lead-up.<\/p>\n This brief burst of spring warmth<\/strong> could extend into early next week<\/strong>, but confidence is low on how long it will hold, given the persistent wet pattern we\u2019ve seen lately<\/strong>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Soak up the sun now\u2014wet weather looms Enjoy the sunny skies and mild air today across Massachusetts, because rain is knocking at the door tonight.
