Tropical air is on a journey northward into New England and will continue to flood into the region through Thursday on a southerly wind. It will be quite warm on Wednesday even with just partial sunshine, but a cold front moving into the region on Thursday will bring showers, including a band or two of heavier rain and thunderstorms especially in the afternoon and evening. This will likely have some impact on the Patriots/Jets game in Foxboro.
By Friday, the wet weather and high humidity be pushing off to the northeast but around a very broad low pressure area there will still be mild air blowing into the region on a west southwest wind. The trend to cool will be a stair-step downward with 70s Friday, 60s Saturday, and 50s by Sunday as a series of troughs and fronts move through and winds gradually shifting more west to northwest by the end of the weekend when it will feel more like the end of October.
Early next week will be governed by high pressure and fair weather with cool to seasonable air.
