A First Alert was issued for New England region for Wednesday morning as heavy rain will be around for the morning commute.
Before Wednesday's rainfall, Tuesday contrasts with another nice dry and warm day. Highs will range from 70°F to 80°F even at the coastlines.
On the other hand, the south coast will be cooler, thanks to the gusty south wind.
Wind speeds range from 25 to 30 mph throughout the evening, and when the storms move through overnight into Wednesday predawn, gusts are projected to rise to around 40 mph.
Along with strong winds, some lightning and heavy rain are forecasted to brew a storm.
Thunderstorms in Massachusetts
AccuWeather forecasted a 51% chance of thunderstorms over Massachusettes.
Heavy showers are forecasted to start at 1 A.M. Wednesday in Boston and have a 70% chance to last until 4 A.M the same day.
Temperatures will remain cool with around a 50% chance of rain until 1 P.M.
Forecasts from NBC Boston projected another slew of rain to hit southern New England on Thursday, providing another chance for soaking rain, which would also help alleviate the drought in eastern Massachusetts.
Below-average precipitation numbers in eastern Massachusetts led Energy and Environmental Affairs Secretary Bethany Card to declare a Level 1-Mild Drought in the area.
The irregular rainfall has led to lower spring precipitation totals, particularly in the southeastern part of the state.
Because of high evapotranspiration and early leaf out, available water in hydrological systems has declined dramatically.

The public is advised to stay tuned to the track and timing since this could certainly change at this point.
Highs remain consistently mild to warm at about 70s to 80s throughout the rest of the 10-day.
New England Region, US
The New England region of the United States includes Connecticut, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Maine, Rhode Island, and Vermont.
A Level 1-Mild Drought, as defined by the Massachusetts Drought Management Plan, necessitates detailed drought monitoring, close coordination among state and federal agencies, and technical outreach and assistance to affected municipalities.
The declarations followed recommendations from the state's Drought Management Task Force, which includes state and federal officials as well as other organizations.
The task force will continue to meet until water levels in the affected areas return to normal.
