Unsettled Weather Settles In

BOSTON (CBS) - A frontal boundary nears New England which will be hanging around for awhile.

There will be an increased chance of showers from west to east as the day progresses. Temperatures will also be cooler for this 1st full day of Summer...middle to upper 70s...lower 70s Cape/Islands.

This stalled frontal boundary will continue to be the track for waves of low pressure to travel from west to east.

At the moment, models show bout of steadier showers and thunderstorms tonight (Wednesday night) and again Thursday night.

Watch Melissa's forecast:

Thursday & Friday:  Rain departs Thursday morning with a brief lull in the activity through midday. Then, another round of showers and storms are expected to head our way Thursday night. This batch of rain is going to be exiting Southern New England early Friday morning.  There will be a risk of a few showers and storms again late-day Friday.  As I'm assuming you've already conjured up, this pattern  includes the on & off type of rain that is hard to forecast in terms of exact timing.  Highs temperatures will be cool as they hover near the 70F degree mark. The onshore wind is the culprit for the unseasonably cool air.

This Weekend:  The actual front is showing very slow movement to the east. This being said, I included showers and storms in the forecast for Saturday...highs in the middle 70s.   I have decided to follow a more optimistic approach to our Sunday forecast...improving conditions with highs around 80F.

It still looks dry for the beginning of next week.

Melissa :)
