A broad area of low pressure extends from the Great Lakes region to southeastern New York state. In between the two is a very moist east to southeast wind flow. A warm front extends from the low along the New England south coast. The warm front has been spreading rain over most of southern New England today, with rainfall amounts of 2 to 4" in the Hartford area as well as the eastern slopes of the Berkshires. The rain is rapidly coming to an end over Connecticut and western Massachusetts, while the heaviest rain has moved over Rhode Island and central Massachusetts and is rapidly spreading towards the east coast. Temperatures at 6 pm, were in the 40s to low 50s. Tonight, the heaviest precipitation will come to end over the western half of southern New England by mid evening, while continuing over areas along and east of the i495 corridor. Rainfall amounts may approach 1 to 2" in this area. The rain will taper off to widely scattered showers region wide shortly after midnight. Also left behind will be pockets of drizzle and areas of fog. Overnight lows will be in the 30s and 40s. For Monday, the frontal systems will move out of the area, but the broad area of low pressure will remain over our heads, so more showers are expected throughout the day. There may even be the rumble of thunder. Daytime highs will be in the 50s to around 60. A high pressure ridge will make a brief visit Monday night, bringing a period of fair weather with it. Another cold front will likely bring another round of showers Tuesday afternoon into Tuesday night. === The weather observed at WORCESTER, MA at 07:18 PM EDT was: === The weather reported was light rain and fog.
