As Massachusetts faces a drought, meteorologists are celebrating some much needed rain this week.
A much needed soaking of rain is expected late tonight into tomorrow. Additional showers Thursday night into Friday may yield totals between 1.5 and 2 inches by Friday evening! pic.twitter.com/DLLXTe8eSm

Welcome to Wednesday! Waking up to clear to partly cloudy skies and chilly temps. Another dry day in the 50s with increasing late day clouds. RAIN on the way for your Thursday. A soaker from mid morning into the evening with showers lingering into Saturday. Forecast on #WCVB pic.twitter.com/ttgbxaxxiG

NEEDED RAIN

A widespread 1" of rain expected Thu-Fri, some areas picking up a little more. It has been 2 months since we've had a 1/2" rain event in Boston and since June for 1". This will help with the fires and put a dent in the drought, but we'd need 7-9" to catch up #WCVB pic.twitter.com/Ck9UFbacKR
TURNING COLDER…

Late week into the weekend behind Thursday's rain. Temps only in the mid to upper 40s Friday-Saturday which is a bit below average for late November, but much cooler than it's been. #WCVB pic.twitter.com/RrrFHz6xvv
NEXT 7 DAYS

Pattern shift to cooler and wetter late week into the weekend. Steadiest rain Thursday with showers at times into Friday averaging ~1" of needed rainfall. Lingering spotty showers Saturday as the upper low hangs around. Chilly in the 40s, moderating next week #WCVB pic.twitter.com/ZxFASXe1Mu
WEDNESDAY AM weather update ⤵️

One more dry, sunny day in the 50° before needed rain 🌧️ finally arrives tomorrow. A good soaking around 1” with showers lingering at times into Saturday as it turns chilly #WCVB pic.twitter.com/J2lW2XEljo
