Following the rain, there is expected to be much cooler weather.
On Wednesday afternoon, people will likely see more sunshine but the temperatures could go down, the weather service warned.
Then by Thursday night, temperatures could be in the high 20s with frost or freezing conditions. The high Thursday is around 51 degrees in the Berkshires. Other areas have highs of about 56 degrees.
