Dodging showers this Memorial Day weekend

BRIGHT ON FRIDAY

Friday morning and afternoon will feature more sun than we’ll see all weekend. Expect it to be a cooler day at the coast as a light onshore wind keeps highs around 60. We’ll reach 65-69 inland. Clouds will build as we head into the evening with lows nearing 50 again overnight.

HOLIDAY WEEKEND

Clouds will dominate Saturday, but showers will be slow to move in. Expect a mainly dry day with temps just a little cooler than average, in the low to mid 60s. This will be the better day for outdoors plans as it’s the best bet to stay completely dry.

Rain returns Sunday, and at times it could be steady. Highs will only reach the 50s, making for a chilly and damp day. Rainfall totals could approach 1/2″, although there will likely be a few lulls mixed in between periods of rain.

For Memorial Day itself, we’re tracking a few lingering showers early Monday, but the trend looks drier through the afternoon. Skies should gradually improve with highs recovering into the upper 60s.

NEXT WEEK

By Tuesday, sunshine makes a comeback along with warmer temperatures. Highs return to the upper 70s with much more comfortable weather across southern New England.
