Weekend Outlook: August 18-21, 2023

Some more rain is on the way, but so is a fantastic weekend.

Some downpours are possible on Friday, but for the most part, the rain won’t be heavy across the region. Images provided by Pivotal Weather.

A strong cold front is making its way across the Great Lakes this evening, and it will move into New England on Friday. Ahead of it, we’ll have plenty of clouds and some fog tonight, with a few showers around, becoming more numerous toward daybreak. Showers and thunderstorms are likely Friday morning into early afternoon, and a few of them could contain some downpours and gusty winds, but a widespread severe weather event is not likely. Once the front moves offshore, we’ll quickly clear out late in the day, with breezy northwest winds ushering much drier air into the region. High pressure then settles in for the weekend. Saturday will feature sunshine and some fair-weather clouds with low humidity and below normal temperatures. We should have more sunshine on Sunday, with temperatures starting to creep up a little. Humidity starts to increase on Monday, as well as the cloudcover as the next system starts to move toward the region.

Dewpoints will drop into the 50s, possibly upper 40s, early Saturday. Images provided by WeatherBell.
