Through tonight: Clouds will increase this evening and into the night. There’s a small chance that a few showers or storms will work in late at night, but they should fall apart on approach to the area, so don’t bet on it. Low temperatures will be mainly in the upper 60s and lower 70s.

Tomorrow (Thursday): A couple of showers and storms could be around during the morning and into early afternoon. One or two could be strong and any activity could dump locally heavy rain. High temperatures near 80 or perhaps as high as the mid-80s will come on the early side given a frontal passage in the midday to afternoon. Winds will turn feisty behind the front, blowing from the northwest around 10 to 20 mph, with some gusts in the 30-to-40-mph range. Temperatures will fall off before sunset on those winds.

New England Hurricane: It’s been 84 years since the strongest hurricane to strike New England made landfall. The “Long Island Express” in 1938 picked up that name because it raced north as fast as 60 mph on its way to shore on Sept. 21. Many trees were blown down, 50,000 structures damaged or destroyed, and more than 600 people lost their lives.
