Steady Rain With Pockets of Heavy Rainfall Moving Through the Northeast Including Boston, New York, Montreal, and New England With Back Side Beginning to Clear Monday Morning
NORTHEASTERN UNITED STATES AND SOUTHERN CANADA — Steady rain with embedded pockets of heavy rainfall is moving through the Northeast and southern Canada at 9:45AM Monday, May 25, 2026, with widespread green radar coverage blanketing the entire region from New York and Boston northward through Montreal, Quebec, and across New England. A frontal boundary depicted on radar is draped across the New York and Providence corridor, with the back side of the rain shield beginning to clear from the west as the system continues its eastward progression.
Widespread Steady Rain Covering the Entire Northeast From New York Through Quebec
Radar at 9:45AM shows continuous and widespread green coverage stretching from New York and the tri-state area northward through Hartford, Providence, Boston, Concord, Montpelier, Albany, Montreal, and into Quebec. The rain shield is broad and well-organized, indicating a steady and persistent rainfall event rather than isolated or scattered activity across the region.
Pockets of heavier rainfall are embedded within the broader green coverage, with locally higher rain rates possible across any community falling under the more intense cells moving through. The dense and continuous nature of the radar returns reflects a classic frontal rain event impacting the entire Northeast simultaneously.
Frontal Boundary Draped Across New York and Providence as System Tracks Northeast
A well-defined frontal boundary is depicted on radar running from near New York City through Providence and extending offshore, marking the southern edge of the most active precipitation zone. This frontal position is helping to focus the heaviest rainfall activity across the immediate New York through Boston corridor as the system continues tracking to the northeast.
The red front marker offshore and the blue frontal boundary extending across the region indicate an organized synoptic-scale system driving the widespread rain coverage. Communities along and immediately north of this frontal boundary are experiencing the most persistent rainfall of the morning event.
Back Side of Rain Shield Beginning to Clear From the West as System Exits
The back side of the rain shield is starting to clear out from the western portions of the coverage area, signaling that the rain event is progressing and will not be indefinitely prolonged across the region. Areas to the west including Albany and portions of upstate New York are beginning to see the gray clearing signature on radar as the heaviest coverage lifts to the northeast.
Residents across the Northeast can expect improving conditions to gradually work from west to east through the day as the system continues its departure. Boston, Providence, and the coastal New England zones will likely be the last areas to see the rain clear as the frontal system tracks offshore through the remainder of Monday.
