Thursday is expected to feel more like summer than early spring across the Boston region.

Forecasters expect overnight rain to end during the morning hours. Clouds will give way to increasing sunshine as the day progresses. Afternoon highs are expected to hit the mid 70s across parts of the region, particularly inland.

Friday won’t be as warm, but will still be milder than normal for late March.
