there may be some cold through western mass to maybe trip us up to some sleet at the beginning of this weather system as it rolls in tomorrow but for all in intents and purposes this is all wet. clouds roll in, the showers roll in and roll out. then we go to drizzle and sit in the drizzle for most of tomorrow night and wait for the second wave to come along as we go into wednesday that rides up with low pressure and that will be a good enough focus mechanism so we might get some moderate rain in here on wednesday. that will taper off on wednesday night and that concludes our entire rain system or weather system i guess. when we're done when the dust settlesment look like we might have close to an inch in some spots. i'm going between a half inch and 3/4 of an inch. some models push the rain issue but i think it's a soaking and isn't something that's going to break this drought we're in. weapons and thursday, low 50's normal high upper 40's. we'll do better than that as you see. brief clearing then some more clouds late. 20's to lower 30's then clouding
