EYE TO THE SKY!
The Perseid Meteor Shower is one of the best of the year with dozens of shooting stars per hour. It is also know for producing fireballs! Clouds will increase after midnight with some showers around by dawn, so the best view will probably be late evening (9 PM - midnight).
THURSDAY SHOWERS
Clouds will increase tonight at around midnight ahead of showers tomorrow morning. The best chance for showers will be to the south of the Mass Pike. Then during the afternoon you’ll see a mix of sun and clouds with hit-or-miss thunderstorms around. Coverage looks patchy, but a few localized downpours are not out of the question. We’re hoping it stays dry if you plan on going to the Patriots preseason game at Gillette Stadium on Thursday night, but you’ll want to keep an eye on the forecast.
DRY WEEKEND (MOSTLY)
Lower, almost fall-like humidity moves into Boston by Friday morning. Clouds may briefly bubble up Friday afternoon as a wave of energy passes from north to south. There may be an isolated shower during that time but do not change any outdoor plans. Saturday looks like the pick of the whole week with comfy sun.
