STILL NICE TODAY
Thursday starts bright with plenty of sunshine, but clouds increase through the afternoon ahead of our next storm system. Temperatures climb into the 80s with relatively low-mid humidity levels.
Although an isolated shower may pop up in western MA or southwestern NH this afternoon, the much better chance for rain will arrive late tonight.
TWO ROUNDS OF RAIN FRIDAY
A warm front will trigger rain with embedded downpours and the rumble of thunder Friday morning. There will probably be a pause midday and early afternoon. Then a cold front will pass through with a line of strong to severe afternoon thunderstorms from between 3-8 PM. Damaging wind gusts and large hail (by New England standards) are possible. We’ll need to keep an eye on radar during the World Cup match at Boston Stadium at 3pm and through the evening commute for possible impacts.
WEEKEND IMPROVES, SUNDAY IS THE PICK
Many will see dry weather all weekend. We do have the chance for some showers Saturday morning far south. The day will feature a mix of clouds and sunshine with an isolated afternoon pop shower possible. Sunday is the pick of the weekend with mostly sunny skies, lower humidity, and temperatures in the low 80s — a great day for outdoor plans.
