Drier and warmer weather is expected as we head through much of the upcoming weekend.
The last of the rain that brought flooding to the southern suburbs of Boston this morning will move offshore this evening, then high pressure builds in north of the area. This will result in drier weather for the next few days, with temperatures near or a little below normal, especially at the coast, thanks to onshore winds. There is still a chance for a few widely scattered pop-up showers and thunderstorms each afternoon, especially on Friday, but these will be confined to the interior, and the vast majority of the region won’t see any at all. Temperatures will rise a little on Monday as will humidity levels, making it a bit more uncomfortable than the previous few days. We’ll also see a cold front starting to approach on Monday, and this will give us a better chance for more widespread showers and thunderstorms during the afternoon and evening.
Thursday night: Any lingering showers end in the evening, mostly cloudy with areas of fog overnight. Low 59-66.
Friday: Morning clouds, then becoming partly sunny, slight chance for an afternoon shower or thunderstorm, mainly across the interior. High 78-85, a little cooler at the coast.
Friday night: Partly cloudy, patchy fog redevelops. Low 61-68.
Saturday: Partly sunny, a stray shower or thunderstorm possible across the interior during the afternoon. High 79-86, a little cooler at the coast.
Saturday night: Partly to mostly cloudy, more fog possible. Low 61-68.
Sunday: A mix of sun and clouds, just a very slight chance for a shower or thunderstorm. High 78-85, a little cooler across Cape Cod.
Sunday night: Partly to mostly cloudy. Low 61-68.
Monday: Intervals of clouds and sun, showers and thunderstorms may develop in the afternoon. High 79-86, a little cooler across Cape Cod.
