Currently in Boston — August 17th, 2022
The weather, currently.
Skies will cloud up later tonight as a area of low pressure moves North and even a little West along the coastline. This low will produce an area of rain some of its steady to heavy early Wednesday through the middle of the day. If the storm comes close enough some areas could see over half an inch of rain. The rain will taper off later Wednesday and then drive in more humid weather return for the end of the week. Temperatures May reach near 90 Friday through the weekend. While the upcoming rain will help the drought situation we will need many more days of rain to get ourselves out of this.
