The Boston area will continue to find no need for umbrellas through early this week, but the return of rain is on the horizon.
An area of high pressure building into the Northeast will allow abundant sunshine to prevail through Monday.

Showers Return to the Northeast

Temperatures will flirt with the 60-degree mark on Monday, when a high near 54 F is more commong.
The only weather delay commuters will encounter on Monday will be in the outlying suburbs, where extra time will be spent scraping frost off windshields in the morning.

Clouds will increase on Tuesday as rain approaches from the south, but waits until the late afternoon hours to reach eastern Massachusetts. The rain will continue through Wednesday, especially in the morning.

Since numerous downpours and widespread flooding should stay absent, Tuesday's rain will be mostly a nuisance for travelers and those with outdoor plans.
Reduced visibility and water ponding on roads, heightening the risk of vehicles hydroplaning, will slow down motorists. Outdoor activities could be forced indoors or postponed.
As quick as Wednesday's rain departs, another cold front with more rain will follow for Thursday afternoon.
