WEATHER ALERT SATURDAY
It’s a mild and muggy start to our Saturday across the region, and while most of the morning and early afternoon will stay dry, don’t rule out an isolated shower popping up. The real weather story, however, unfolds later today.
We’re tracking the potential for strong to severe thunderstorms by late afternoon and early evening. Before those storms arrive, expect a warm and steamy day with some sunshine and highs climbing into the low 80s.
Storm Timing & Threats:
- Central MA & Southern NH: Storms move in between 2–4 PM
- Boston & Eastern MA: Storms arrive closer to 5–7 PM
The risk for severe weather is highest west of I-495, where storms may pack a punch with:
- Damaging wind gusts
- Hail
- Heavy downpours
- Frequent lightning
Storms will gradually taper off overnight, setting us up for a quieter start to Sunday.
NEXT WEEK
Expect a cooler and more comfortable day with highs in the upper 60s. The morning looks mainly dry, but showers return any time after 2 PM, continuing into Sunday night and into Monday.
Looking ahead, this unsettled pattern with periodic rain chances sticks around through the end of next week, so keep the umbrella close by.
Stay weather-aware today, especially if you have outdoor plans. We’ll be monitoring radar closely and will keep you updated on-air and online throughout the day.
