SOAK UP THE SUN

We’ll see a nice mix of sun and scattered clouds today with highs in the lower 60s at the coast, mid 60s in Metro West, and 70s farther inland. Clouds will be thickest today over the Cape and Islands with the slight risk for a sprinkle. You’ll also notice a stronger breeze there with gusts 20-30 mph.

Although your Friday evening plans should stay dry, the chance for patchy drizzle will climb overnight.

SATURDAY SPRINKLES

Cool and cloudy conditions will drive the Saturday forecast. Onshore wind will push moisture in from the east. A disturbance will approach from the west with enough energy to trigger occasional showers. It won’t be a soaker, but trace to 1/4″ rainfall is likely in southern New England.

Sunday will shape up a bit warmer. I’m expecting a cloudy start but some breaks in those clouds should develop in the afternoon.

GOING UP

Above average temperatures and dry weather will last early to mid next week. Highs will reach about 80 degrees - greatest Tuesday and Wednesday. A cold front is set to come through Thursday afternoon with thunderstorms and cause a slight dip in temperatures after that.
