Cool and Rainy Start to September in New England
As September begins, New England is experiencing cooler temperatures and scattered showers. A stalled frontal boundary over New York and southwestern Connecticut is driving steady rain across Southern New England, including Boston, during the morning hours. Rainfall totals are expected to range from a quarter to half an inch in most areas. Afternoon conditions will improve slightly, with drying in Boston and scattered spot showers in Western Connecticut. Highs will remain in the upper 60s to low 70s, with higher humidity levels across Southern New England. Maine will see sunnier skies and dry air, making it the most favorable location in the region. The week ahead includes continued chances of rain, with a more potent system expected to bring widespread showers on Thursday.
