Rain, wind, and colder temperatures

WEATHER ALERT

The biggest weather concerns arrive this evening as a cold front moves through.

Rain will move through between 6-10 PM, with a period of heavy rain, gusty winds and embedded thunderstorms possible. Some storms could produce damaging wind gusts, and lightning will also be a concern.

Rain will gradually taper off overnight, although showers may linger across southeastern Massachusetts into Saturday morning.

WEEKEND IN VIEW

Saturday will feel very different! Lingering rain across southeastern Massachusetts will stick around through mid-morning, this will be a lower impact though. Wind gusts up to 40 mph throughout the day will be possible, making it feel even colder. Afternoon highs will struggle to reach 50 degrees. With the gusty winds, it will feel more like the 30s and 40s at times.

As the wind relaxes Saturday evening, temperatures will plunge. Overnight lows will fall into the low 30s with some spots potentially below freezing away from the coast. Frost and freeze conditions are possible early Sunday, especially in colder inland locations.

Sunday will feature plenty of sunshine with afternoon highs in the mid 50s. If you’re heading to the Patriots game, plan on a chilly start, but otherwise pleasant fall football weather. Layers will be your friend!

NEXT WEEK

Next week looks mainly quiet, with seasonably cool temperatures and afternoon highs generally in the 50s.
