After the dramatic temperature swing from Monday to Tuesday in Boston, the next potential wild weather will occur on Saturday in the form of heavy rain.
Temperatures reached the highest point of the year so far on Monday with an 85-degree reading at Boston Logan International Airport.
Less than 24 hours later, temperatures were hovering in the upper 40s F, thanks to a strong back door frontal passage.
The cool air will ease up through Friday as winds swing around to the south.
However, the southerly flow will occur in advance of an approaching front from the Central states. That front has had a history of heavy rainfall and flash flooding. Additional moisture from the tropics may feed in.
As a result, there is the potential for flash and urban flooding from late Friday night into Saturday midday. Be prepared for significant travel delays and disruptions to outdoor activities during that time.
After the warming trend late this week, temperatures will slip back to slightly below-average levels for the middle of May with highs forecast to be in the middle 60s Saturday and Sunday.
