The wet weather comes on the heels of Boston seeing desperately-needed rain on Monday, as most of the state continues to experience a critical drought. But the dry conditions are so bad that meteorologists are warning that the recent and expected rain are not going to alleviate the drought.
According to the National Weather Service, after Tuesday’s rains, the forecast will once again return to very warm weather, though not oppressive.
“Dry weather prevails Wednesday and Thursday with better chances for showers and storms Friday,” the service said.
