Prepare for Puddles! Your Day Features Two Distinct Rounds of Showers

Get ready for a day that calls for your umbrella, perhaps twice! Our latest forecast indicates not one, but two distinct opportunities for showers across the region today, promising a damp start and potentially a wet close to your day. While neither round is expected to be a complete wash-out, it's wise to be prepared for some precipitation.

The first chance for rain arrives early this morning and will linger through the late morning hours.

Expect scattered, lighter showers during this period, which might make for a slightly slick commute. These initial sprinkles are generally quick-moving and won't bring significant accumulation, but they will certainly remind you that spring (or fall) weather is upon us.

Following a brief lull around midday, where we might even catch a glimpse of some drier conditions or partial sunshine, the second, more organized round of showers is anticipated to move in during the late afternoon and early evening.

This second system has the potential to bring more widespread and slightly heavier rain, especially as you head into the evening commute and dinner hours. It's during this period that you'll most likely need your rain gear.

Temperatures today will remain on the mild side, generally hovering in the upper 50s to low 60s, which is fairly comfortable for this time of year, despite the dampness.

Winds will be relatively light, coming from the southwest, and shouldn't add much to the chill factor. However, the combination of mild temperatures and increased humidity will make for a noticeably muggy feel throughout the day.

Looking ahead, tomorrow promises a much drier and brighter outlook with more sunshine and slightly cooler, but still pleasant, temperatures.

So, while today requires a bit of weather vigilance, there's clearer weather on the horizon to look forward to. Stay tuned to WCVB for the very latest updates on these developing shower chances.
