On the South Shore, there is a 20% chance of showers Tuesday afternoon into the evening. The high is expected to be 91.

A 30% chance of thunderstorms enters the forecast after 11 a.m. on Wednesday. The chance (20%) of showers remains in the forecast for Thursday afternoon but it will be mostly sunny with a high of 90.
