Some unsettled weather is on the way for the weekend, so get those umbrellas out.

High pressure remains in control into Friday morning with dry and seasonably cool conditions. Clouds will thicken up on Friday as a weak storm system moves toward the region. A period of showers is likely late Friday afternoon and evening, but we’re not expecting any heavy rain at this point. After that, a series of weak systems will move through over the weekend, keeping the clouds in place with slightly cooler temperatures, and some episodes of rain showers. We’re not expecting them to be widespread or heavy, but they’ll be enough of a nuisance that you’ll notice them. A more potent system looks to move in for late Sunday into Monday. There is still quite a bit of uncertainty among the models as the how this storm will evolve and track, but right now, it looks like it will move across southeastern New England early Monday. This will likely result in rain, possibly heavy, for much of the region, with some gusty winds near the coast. Temperatures will be on the cool side, except near the South Coast and Cape Cod, which could be on the warm side of the storm. The area with the most uncertainty is across southern New Hampshire and the hills of central Massachusetts. At least one model is showing the potential for enough cold air for some snow or a wintry mix both at the start and at the end of the storm, but this is far from a certainty. In fact, the majority of the models do not show this scenario, but that doesn’t mean we should just discount it.

Thursday night: Partly cloudy. Low 33-40.

Friday: Some morning sun, then clouds return, showers develop by late afternoon. High 48-55.

Friday night: Mostly cloudy, showers ending toward midnight. Low 35-42.

Saturday: Plenty of clouds with a few showers possible. High 48-55.

Saturday night: Mostly cloudy, chance for a shower or two. Low 37-44.

Sunday: Cloudy with light rain and showers redeveloping, possibly some wintry mix from the hills of central Massachusetts into southwestern New Hampshire. High 44-51.

Sunday night: Periods of rain and showers. Low 34-41.

Monday: Cloudy with occasional showers, possibly mixed with some snow from central Massachusetts into southern New Hampshire. High 43-50.

The weather will be more tranquil but also cooler for a good chunk of the extended holiday weekend.

Low pressure pulls away this evening with rain ending, and skies slowly clearing out overnight. High pressure builds in for Thanksgiving with sunshine and seasonably cool temperatures, but it will remain breezy as our low pressure system continues to intensify in Atlantic Canada. Another cold front moves through on Friday, but with only a few clouds accompanying it. Behind it, even colder air will settle in for Friday night and Saturday on gusty northwest winds. Temperatures on Saturday likely stay in the 30s for highs, with lows Saturday night dropping into the 20s, with some teens in the normally colder locations. Keep this in mind if you’ll be out during the day Saturday or at night. Temperatures will start to moderate on Sunday, but clouds will also stream in ahead of both a low pressure system moving off the Mid-Atlantic coast and another cold front moving in from the west. A period of rain showers seems likely Sunday night into Monday morning as the low passes by offshore and the cold front moves in. Temperatures may be marginally cold enough for some snow to mix in at the start well north and west of Boston. We’ll start to clear out behind both systems Monday afternoon.

Wednesday night: Any lingering showers end this evening, skies start to clear out after midnight, breezy. Low 34-41.

Thanksgiving: Plenty of sunshine, breezy. High 44-51.

Thursday night: Clear skies. Low 30-37.

Friday: A mix of sun and clouds, breezy. High 42-49.

Friday night: Clear skies. Low 17-24.

Saturday: Sunshine and some afternoon clouds. High 31-38.

Saturday night: Partly cloudy. Low 22-29.

Sunday: Becoming partly to mostly cloudy. High 41-48.

Sunday night: Cloudy with showers likely, possibly starting as a little wet snow well north and west of Boston. Low 31-38.

Monday: Morning showers, some afternoon clearing, breezy. High 44-51.

Lots of change is in the air for the weekend, from warm to cool, from wet to dry, from windy to calm.

High pressure is in control to start the weekend with dry weather for tonight and Friday. Temperatures will turn milder as winds shift into the southwest with the high pressure area moving off to our east. However, clouds will be streaming in ahead of both an approaching cold front and a low pressure area moving up the East Coast. The low pressure area is the one that has been drenching Florida for the past couple of days, but right now, it looks like it will stay far enough offshore to only bring in some rain to parts of Cape Cod and the Islands and possibly southeastern Massachusetts. However, the cold front will also bring in some showers for Friday night into Saturday morning. Saturday will start off quite mild, likely in the 50s for most spots, but with the front moving through, not only will it bring an end to the rain, it will usher much cooler weather in on gusty northwest winds. Temperatures will likely drop trough the afternoon, with skies clearing out late in the day. High pressure builds in for Sunday and Monday with sunshine and cool conditions, but it will likely remain breezy, especially on Sunday, as low pressure strengthens in Atlantic Canada.

Thursday night: Clear skies through the evening, clouds start to move in after midnight. Low 34-41.

Friday: Increasing and thickening clouds, breezy, and mild. High 58-65.

Friday night: Cloudy with showers developing, mainly after midnight. Low 47-54.

Saturday: Rain and showers end by early afternoon, skies start to clear out late in the day, becoming breezy and turning cooler in the afternoon. High 52-59 in the morning, temperatures drop in the afternoon.

Saturday night: Clear skies, breezy during the evening. Low 28-35.

Sunday: Plenty of sunshine, breezy. High 44-51.

Sunday night: Clear skies, breezy. Low 25-32.

Monday: Sunshine and a few clouds, still a bit breezy. High 38-45.

Another dry weekend coming up? Where were these during the summer?

If you were up early enough this morning, some parts of the region had some sleet or even a few wet snowflakes for the first time this season. Don’t worry, they won’t be back for a while. Any lingering rain showers will end this evening, and while we may see a little clearing overnight, clouds quickly return on Friday as an upper-level disturbance moves across the region. Could there be a shower or two? It’s possible, but for the most part, it just be cloudy, breezy, and cool. High pressure builds in for the weekend with lots of sunshine, but again, temperatures will remain on the cool side. Another upper-level disturbance brings clouds back in on Monday, but again, we should remain dry for the most part, with only a few stray showers expected.

Thursday night: A lingering shower this evening, then becoming partly cloudy. Low 33-40.

Friday: Mostly cloudy, slight chance for a shower, skies start to clear out late in the day, breezy. High 45-52.

Friday night: Clear skies. Low 31-38.

Saturday: Sunshine and a few clouds. High 43-50.

Saturday night: Clear to partly cloudy. Low 25-32.

Sunday: Partly to mostly sunny. High 38-45.

Sunday night: Clear to partly cloudy. Low 23-30.

Monday: Morning sun, increasing afternoon clouds, slight chance for a late-day shower. High 42-49.
