ALERT THURSDAY
You’ll find today warm, muggy, and breezy. Both winds and humidity levels will steadily rise through the morning and afternoon. Gusts 30-45 mph will develop across southern New England today.
Spot showers will continue this morning with several lulls and dry stretches. Afternoon storms will be more potent as they move in from the west. That line of storms has the best chance for producing lines of wind damage, if not an isolated tornado locally. Stay alert today, especially around the late afternoon and evening commute in Boston and Metrowest.
Storms will weaken and mostly dissipate by sunset.

WEEKEND IN VIEW
Plan on dry and partly sunny weather Friday across the region. It will be breezy Friday and Saturday with winds 10-15 mph and gusts 20-30 mph.
Northern New England will see some scattered showers over the weekend, but southern New England looks generally dry. We’ll want to watch for the slight chance of a shower dropping into Massachusetts, especially in northern parts of the state.
Keep in mind, we have a Weather Alert Monday for our next batch of widespread rain.
