If you’re looking for perfect summer weather this weekend, you’ll be disappointed, but it won’t be as bad as your weather app is showing.

A cold front will move in from the west this evening, bringing with it another round of showers and perhaps some thunderstorms as well. Beyond that, an upper-level low will drift in from the Great Lakes and sit across the Northeast through the weekend. That will keep us cooler than recent days and unsettled as well. We’re not expecting any of the days to be a washout this weekend, but what you can expect is plenty of clouds (with some sunny breaks), and daily episodes of showers, perhaps a few thunderstorms, as impulses of energy rotate around that upper low.

Thursday night: A few showers possible this evening, followed by some late night clearing. Low 57-64.

Friday: A sunny start to the day, then clouds move back in during the afternoon, just a slight chance for a shower. High 77-84.

Friday night: Clear to partly cloudy. Low 53-60.

Saturday: Partly sunny, breezy, slight chance for a shower. High 71-78.

Saturday night: Partly cloudy, chance for some showers. Low 53-60.

Sunday: Intervals of clouds and sunshine, chance for a few showers, mainly in the morning. High 70-77.

Sunday night: Partly cloudy, chance for a shower or two. Low 52-59.

Monday: A mix of sun and clouds, slight chance for a shower. High 69-76.

The first weekend of June should feature some fantastic weather for our area.

Low pressure pulls away from the region this evening, taking the last of the showers with it, then skies clear out, resulting in a chilly night, with temperatures dropping into the 40s in many areas. High pressure builds in for Friday with sunshine and temperatures turning milder, but still near or a little below normal for the final day of May. We’ll warm up more on Saturday as the high moves off to the East. A weak system will try to move in on Sunday, bringing us some clouds, but it looks like any rain with it should stay off to our south and west. Sunshine returns on Monday, with just a few pop-up showers or thunderstorms possible in the afternoon, mainly across the interior.

Thursday night: Any lingering showers end this evening, then skies clear out. Low 44-51.

Friday: Sunshine and some afternoon clouds. High 68-75, coolest along the coast.

Friday night: Clear skies. Low 47-54.

Saturday: Plenty of sunshine. High 74-81, a little cooler near the coast.

Saturday night: Partly cloudy. Low 50-57.

Sunday: Partly sunny, just a slight chance for a late-day shower. High 75-82, a little cooler near the coast.

Sunday night: Partly cloudy. Low 53-60.

Monday: Partly to mostly sunny, a pop-up shower or thunderstorm is possible in the afternoon. High 76-83, a little cooler near the coast.

Most of the Memorial Day Weekend should feature some fantastic weather, but not all of it.

A cold front will move across the region this evening, possibly producing one more round of showers and thunderstorms, a few of which could be strong across the interior, then we’ll start to dry out overnight as the front pushes offshore and then stalls out. High pressure builds in for Friday and Saturday with sunshine, warm temperatures, and lower humidity. A weak system will move through Saturday night with some clouds, and possibly a few showers, but it shouldn’t cause any issues. Sunday should be another great day, though a pop-up shower or thunderstorm is possible in the afternoon. As for Memorial Day itself – the first half of the day should be fine for any parades or outdoor ceremonies. However, an upper-level low pressure area moving into the Great Lakes will send plenty of clouds in, with some showers developing by late afternoon as a warm front moves toward the region. So, if you’ve got any outdoor plans, be prepared to head inside at some point during the afternoon and evening.

Thursday night: Any showers or thunderstorms end in the evening, skies start to clear out overnight. Low 55-62.

Friday: Becoming sunny, not as humid. High 77-84, cooler across Cape Cod.

Friday night: Clear skies. Low 51-58.

Saturday: Sunshine and some afternoon clouds. High 75-82, a little cooler near the coast.

Saturday night: Partly to mostly cloudy, chance for a few showers. Low 51-58.

Sunday: Any early shower, then becoming partly sunny, slight chance for an afternoon shower or thunderstorm. High 75-82, cooler near the coast.

Sunday night: Becoming mostly cloudy. Low 52-59.

Memorial Day: Mostly cloudy, showers develop in the afternoon. High 67-74.

Cool weather will remain in place for a good chunk of the weekend.

A weak low pressure area will pass south of the region tonight and early Friday, generating some showers, mainly south of the Mass Pike. High pressure then builds in from the north later Friday into Saturday, with some sunshine developing, but east to northeast winds off the still-chilly Atlantic will keep temperatures below normal for mid-May, especially close to the coast. Another weak system may bring in a few more showers on Sunday before high pressure builds back in for Monday, this time with warmer weather as winds should shift into the west or southwest.

Thursday night: Becoming mostly cloudy, some showers likely, mainly south of the Mass Pike. Low 41-48.

Friday: Showers end early, some afternoon sunshine develops, breezy. High 52-59, coolest along the coast.

Friday night: Partly cloudy. Low 38-45.

Saturday: Intervals of clouds and sun. High 51-58, coolest along the coast.

Saturday night: Mostly cloudy. Low 38-45.

Sunday: Plenty of clouds, chance for a shower or two, some late-day clearing possible. High 51-58, coolest along the coast.

Sunday night: Becoming partly cloudy. Low 39-46.

Monday: Partly sunny. High 60-67, coolest along the coast.

Cooler weather is expected for the next few days with some rain expected this weekend.

Low pressure sends a few showers across the region this evening, then cooler weather settles in behind in for Friday into Saturday. We’ll remain dry both days, but clouds will be prevalent, mainly due to the onshore flow on Friday and ahead of low pressure moving in from the west on Saturday. That low pressure area will bring in a period of rain on Sunday, keeping us rather cool once again. High pressure builds in for Monday with sunshine and warmer temperatures returning.

Thursday night: Mostly cloudy, any showers end during the evening. Low 41-48.

Friday: Clouds and some afternoon sunshine. High 54-61 a little cooler near the coast.

Friday night: Partly to mostly cloudy. Low 40-47.

Saturday: More clouds than sunshine. High 56-63, a little cooler near the coast.

Saturday night: Mostly cloudy. Low 40-47.

Sunday: Cloudy with rain likely. High 52-59.

Sunday night: Mostly cloudy with showers ending. Low 43-50.

Monday: A mix of sun and clouds. High 69-76, cooler right along the coast.

Some nicer weather is on the way for the weekend, but the forecast isn’t quite that simple.

High pressure remains in control into Saturday with sunshine and cool conditions. Freeze Warnings are in effect again tonight south of the Mass Pike and along the coast. If you’re wondering why there are no Freeze Warnings north and west of Boston, it’s not because it won’t be as cold, it’s because we haven’t received the average date of the last 32-degree reading for the year yet in those areas. Temperatures will gradually moderate on Friday and Saturday as the high slides off to the east. By later Saturday we’ll see some high clouds start to move in ahead of a warm front. They’ll thicken up in the evening with a few showers likely Saturday night. By Sunday, we’ll turn a bit milder, but we’ll still have plenty of clouds around and a pop-up shower is possible. Monday is the day with the trickiest forecast. We’ll be mostly dry, with partly sunny skies, and just a slight chance for a stray shower, but the temperatures forecast is not that easy. While it may get quite mild inland, a backdoor cold front could result in a much cooler day near the coast, especially north of Boston. How quickly that front moves in will impact the temperature forecast, but in the afternoon, many places near the coast will likely drop into the 50s or even upper 40s while inland areas will be well into the 60s or even 70s.

Thursday night: Clear and chilly. Low 27-34.

Friday: Sun, sun, and more sun. High 53-60, little cooler at the coast.

Friday night: Clear skies. Low 31-38.

Saturday: Sunny in the morning, increasing and thickening clouds in the afternoon. High 59-66, little cooler right at the coast.

Saturday night: Mostly cloudy with a few showers likely, mainly after midnight. Low 38-45.

Sunday: Intervals of clouds and sun, slight chance for an afternoon shower. High 61-68, cooler along the coast.

Sunday night: Partly cloudy. Low 47-54.

Monday: Partly sunny, slight chance for a shower. High 66-73 inland, 58-65 along the coast, possibly even cooler during the afternoon.

Some drier weather is on the way, but we’ve still got some rain in our future.

Rain will come to an end this evening, then high pressure builds back in for Friday with drier conditions. There may be a few sunny breaks, but for the most part, it’ll be a cloudy and milder day. A cold front moving in from the west will bring in some showers for Friday night and Saturday morning before the front moves through. We’ll gradually clear out with gusty winds behind the front during the day, then high pressure builds in for Sunday and Monday with dry and seasonably mild conditions.

Thursday night: Cloudy, showers ending before midnight. Low 37-44.

Friday: Clouds with some afternoon sunshine, especially south of Boston. High 53-60, coolest along the coast.

Friday night: Becoming cloudy, a few showers during the evening, becoming more widespread after midnight. Low 40-47.

Saturday: Rain ending by early afternoon, some late-day clearing, becoming breezy. High 58-65.

Saturday night: Becoming clear. Low 36-43.

Sunday: Partly to mostly sunny, breezy. High 54-61.

Sunday night: Clear to partly cloudy. Low 36-43.

Monday: Sunshine and a few clouds, breezy. High 55-62.
