Severe Weather In MA Possible As Storms Arrive Late Week

MASSACHUSETTS — A pleasant start to the week in Massachusetts will lead to potential severe weather later on, according to the National Weather Service.

Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday will be mostly sunny and dry with temperatures in the low 70s along the coast and into the 80s inland. A brief cold front moving in early Tuesday morning will mean slightly cooler temperatures that day, according to the forecast.

Almost exactly like last week's weather, the chance of heavy rain and potential thunderstorms starts Wednesday night, according to the weather service.

"A pattern change Wednesday night and Thursday will be accompanied by widespread showers and possible downpours, along with isolated thunderstorms at times," the weather service's Monday morning forecast said.

Rain accumulations will likely be 1 inch or below, according to early forecasts on Monday.

The rainy weather will also mean more humid air across the region. The early forecasts also indicate mostly dry days on Friday, Saturday and Sunday.
