Refreshing Rainfall Arrives in Boston, Easing Drought Concerns and Boosting Water Reserves

Due to a much-needed downpour, Boston residents should prepare their rain boots and umbrellas as showers are about to arrive.NBC Boston emphasizes the benefits of this rainy weather, which is predicted to reduce the severity of the current drought, reduce the risk of wildfires, and help the area’s total water needs be met.

According to the National Weather Service, today’s forecast calls for rain mostly after 9 am and wind gusts of up to 28 mph. With a 90% chance of precipitation and a high temperature of about 51 degrees, you could expect between half and three-quarters of an inch of new rainfall. The prediction for tonight is for further rain before one in the morning, gusty conditions with an 80% chance of precipitation, and new precipitation levels that might range from a quarter to half an inch. This initial rainfall is only the beginning.

Bostonians could expect more of the wet stuff as Friday and the weekend progress. Rain is 70% likely to fall after 3 p.m. on Friday, and this pattern is forecast to continue into Saturday, with the most of the rain falling before the afternoon. By Saturday morning, a few snowflakes might mix in across the Worcester Hills, but large accumulations are expected to occur at higher elevations farther from the city. There is some relief in the later part of the weekend, as the National Weather Service predicts Sunday to be dry but windy.

With Tuesday perhaps bringing light showers and a cool-down just in time for Thanksgiving, the National Weather Service is hinting at an active trend for the upcoming week. Even though it’s early, meteorologists are watching a system that could impact holiday plans as it moves in around Thanksgiving, Friday, and Saturday. “The pattern remains active too, so any storms will have to be watched carefully,” says NBC Boston, indicating that many people are interested in the system’s potential for snowfall, though details are yet unknown.
