Boston Braces for a Soggy Spring Week: Rain, Rain, Go Away!

Get ready, Boston! The sun might be hiding for a while as a wet weather pattern settles over the city. According to the National Weather Service (NWS), Boston is in for a rainy week, starting with showers on **Monday** and continuing through the weekend.

NWS meteorologist Kyle Pederson paints a picture of multiple rounds of rain, with **Monday** and **Tuesday** seeing the highest chances of precipitation. While the rain isn't expected to be torrential in the Boston area, Western Massachusetts and the Berkshires could see up to two inches of rainfall. There's also a possibility of thunderstorms on **Tuesday** after 9 a.m.

Temperatures will be cooler than last week, with highs in the mid-50s to upper 60s throughout the week. **Monday** will start with patchy fog and a high of 57 degrees. **Tuesday** will warm up slightly, with a predicted high in the mid-60s. **Wednesday** and **Thursday** offer a bit of a reprieve, with slightly warmer temperatures and lower chances of rain. However, the rain returns for **Friday** and **Saturday**, making it a less-than-ideal week for outdoor activities.

BNN's Perspective: While a week of rain can be a bit of a downer, it's important to remember that this is typical spring weather. The forecast doesn't indicate any severe weather, and the rain is needed for the environment. It's a good reminder to appreciate the sunshine when it does peek through the clouds!
