…THE SUN HAS EMERGED, WATCH OUT FOR SHOWERS IN THE NEXT 3-4 HOURS…
The sun has managed to poke its head out here and there over Eastern MA and RI but don’t be fooled. This sunshine will cause cloudiness to redevelop very quickly and shower activity is likely to form as the atmosphere is rather unstable. Looking at the satellite and radar loop above you can see a large area of showers has developed over Western Mass and this kind of shower activity could increase in areal coverage as we move through the rest of the daylight hours if the sun stays out. The greatest risk of developing showers will be over Eastern MA during the next 2-3 hours as upper level energy swings through with the upper level trough passing through New England right now. Once the sun goes down that will serve to stabilize the atmosphere and the shower threat will largely disappear.
