[10 AM] As onshore winds weaken, strong May sunshine erodes the clouds per latest satellite imagery. Expecting increasing sunshine this afternoon, with temps warming into the low 80s from #Hartford to Springfield. 70s elsewhere, except 60s for the coast. #MAwx #RIwx #CTwx

As advertised, an early taste of summer this week as temperatures are expected to climb into the 80s (away from the coast), especially on Tuesday & Wednesday. Thursday's highs will greatly depend on the timing of a cold front with storms; right now, it looks to be Thursday PM.

On This Day in Weather History: May 20, 1963. Four tornadoes rated F-2 struck Massachusetts.

Up to about 1/2" of rainfall is expected over the next 72 hours, with little impact on area rivers and streams.

Drying off today, but lingering clouds and an onshore breeze will keep temps cooler at the coast. While inland, temps start to heat up.

A big ridge allows hot temps to spill into New England on a south/southwest wind by midweek. Highs near 90 even in Boston by Wednesday!
