Drier Forecast in Attleboro Area Later This Week

After a rainy Monday and a muggy Tuesday, expect skies to clear in the Attleboro area towards the end of the week.

"Wednesday has the number of showers lower, but still a few pop up showers fire in the afternoon," WHDH's Chris Lambert wrote in his weather blog. "The general trend toward the end of the week is to dry things out.  A pop up shower or storm may fire inland Friday afternoon, but much of the Thursday-Sunday timeframe appears quiet with temperatures in the mid 70s to lower 80s."

Late in the week, however, the Attleboro area may see some patchy fog, according to the National Weather service.
