Discussion              

A back door cold front passed through Boston early yesterday in a northeast-to-southwest direction and dropped temperatures dramatically in a short period of time.  This same system slid through our area last night and this will result in much relief here today in the temperature department. Temperatures on Tuesday climbed into the 90’s; however, will likely be confined to the middle 70’s today for highs. The atmosphere will become unsettled later today and tonight and this can result in some strong thunderstorm activity and heavy rainfall. Another front approaches later tomorrow bringing with it a renewed threat of showers and thunderstorms. High pressure will build into the region for the weekend likely leading to a comfortably warm few days in the Mid-Atlantic region.
