MA Weather: Dreadful Last Week Of Spring Ahead

It's already late June, and we're still struggling through rain and colder-than-usual temperatures. Monday could be the last day we see temperatures break 70 degrees until Saturday and it will almost certainly be the last day without any rain.

"[Monday] will be dry and warmer, with temperatures in the 70s to low 80s," the National Weather Service said. "Unsettled and wet weather returns through the rest of the week before we should get a break from the rain chances by next weekend."

The week is expected to be sticky all the way through.

Tuesday and Wednesday could be salvageable, with a chance of temperatures nudging back into the 70s and perhaps just showers in the day and night. Thursday may be the rainiest day, with potential thunderstorms, and more rain comes Friday before things clear up for the weekend.
