Slow weather improvements this weekend

DREARY SATURDAY

Steady rain will tapered off late morning/midday, leaving a good part of the day cloudy and dry. I can’t rule out an occasional sprinkle or isolated afternoon shower, but rain chances will remain low for the most part. Plan on highs in the upper 50s and lower 60s.

Another upper-level disturbance will pass through this evening and tonight with a final push of gusty showers and even the possibly of some graupel (small, soft hail) due to the cooler air also moving in. Additional rainfall tonight will add up to 0.1-0.3″ locally.

SUNDAY CLEARING

A few showers may linger through 8 or 9 AM Sunday before we start to turn the corner. We’ll still have quite a few clouds to work through before sunshine returns gradually from west to east late afternoon. The morning will also run a bit breezy with gusts up to 30 mph.

Temperatures will actually be much more seasonable with highs in the 50s. It’s looking good for the Patriots game at Gillette Stadium!

NEXT WEEK

The week will start with quite weather. Clouds will bubble up Monday afternoon with the chance for a brief spot showers. Other than that, it looks dry through the middle of the week with a mix of sun and clouds.

All of our tools indicate a strong storm will develop late week and pass close to southern New England. It looks like rain and wind along the coast and the potential for a wintry mix north and west of I-495 on Friday, possibly Saturday too. It’s WAY TOO EARLY for details as this storm won’t form for days and a wobble to the track is likely. Keep in mind, early season snow/mix doesn’t tend to add up to high totals, plus might struggle to stick to the pavement. We’ll keep you posted!
