Wednesday delivers a cool, raw feel across New England, with clouds, showers, and pockets of rain for many.
Rainfall: The steadiest rain targets Southern New England today, with lighter, more scattered showers farther north. Expect downpours during the evening commute across Southern New England and into Southern Vermont, making for a slower drive. Embedded thunder is possible south of the Mass Pike, but the bigger risk is localized flooding – especially in urban and low-lying areas where 1–3 inches of rain could fall. Northern New England sees little if any rainfall.
Temperatures: Most stay in the 50s and low 60s, reinforcing that raw, almost fall-like feel. Overnight, 50s linger south, 40s return in the far north country.
Erin’s Impacts: Offshore, Hurricane Erin remains the dominant player. Her expansive wind field drives dangerous surf and rip currents across the New England coastline. Seas build 5–10+ feet, peaking Thursday into Friday. Significant beach erosion is likely in the most vulnerable spots, and swimmers and surfers alike face life-threatening rip current risk up and down our beaches. On Cape Cod and the Islands, tropical storm force gusts are possible late Thursday night into Friday morning.
