Heavy rainfall, widespread showers forecast in Mass. on Memorial Day
Be wary if you plan to host a Memorial Day barbecue, as rainstorms are forecast throughout Massachusetts on Monday.
A frontal storm system will bring widespread showers to the state next week, especially late Monday into early Tuesday. Significant, heavy rainfall is possible, according to the National Weather Service. There could be isolated thunderstorms at night on Memorial Day as well.
Temperatures will remain near to below normal on Memorial Day. Highs on Monday should reach 65 degrees in Hyannis on Cape Cod, 69 degrees in Boston, 70 degrees in Worcester and 72 degrees in Springfield, the weather service said.
The weather should dry out briefly Tuesday into early Wednesday before it turns unsettled once again by mid to late next week with hit-or-miss showers, according to the weather service.
“[T]he exact timing of this is still tricky this far out, but signals are there that it will be a pretty nice [Tuesday],” the weather service said. “Ahead of that dry slot there is the potential for strong winds and heavy downpours.”
