Weekend Outlook: August 28-31, 2026

The last 4 days of meteorological summer are upon us, and for the most part they’ll be good.

For parts of eastern New England, this has been one of the warmest summers on record. Image provided by the Southeast Regional Climate Center.

A frontal system will slowly move across the region over the next 24 hours. This system will produce showers and thunderstorms to our west through the evening, some of which could be strong to severe, but only a few widely scattered showers are expected across our area overnight. On Friday, we’ll see a few more showers and thunderstorms during the afternoon, but the bulk of the day should be dry. High pressure then builds in for the weekend with drier and seasonably warm conditions. As we get into Monday, a backdoor cold front will start dropping southward. Temperatures will depend on how quickly the front moves in, but only a few showers will accompany it, so most of the day should remain dry.

Temperatures will remain a little above normal for the next few days. Image provided by weathermodels.com
