Someone call Ripley, because Believe It or Not, there’s rain in the forecast for part of the weekend.

More rain is expected for parts of the region Friday and Saturday. Image provided by WeatherBell.

After a hot and somewhat humid day today, changes are on the way as a slow-moving cold front makes its way toward the region. We’ll see clouds become more numerous tonight and Friday, with some showers and thunderstorms likely on Friday, especially in the afternoon, and mainly north of the Mass Pike. Some of these storms may produce strong winds and heavy rain which could lead to areas of flooding, so if you’ve got outdoor plans, keep an eye on the radar. It’ll still be quite warm and humid, but not as hot as today.

The cold front finally moves through on Saturday, accompanied by some additional showers, but they shouldn’t be that heavy. They’ll also be accompanied by cooler temperatures behind the front. Sunday will be the pick of the weekend as high pressure builds in with more comfortable conditions, though there will still be some clouds around as an upper-level disturbance crosses the region. We also have more smoke from Canadian wildfires drifting in on Sunday, resulting in hazy skies at times. Monday is a little uncertain at the moment. Many of the models had been showing high pressure remaining in control with a weak low pressure system passing well to the south, but some of those models are bringing the system a lot farther northward now, possibly bringing in more showers on Monday. We’re going to be cautiously optimistic for now that it should remain mostly dry, but with low confidence.

Will high pressure or low pressure be in control on Monday? Images provided by Pivotal Weather.

Thursday night: Partly to mostly cloudy, a few showers or thunderstorms possible during the evening. Low 61-68.

Friday: Some morning sun, otherwise becoming mostly cloudy with showers and thunderstorms developing, some could produce heavy downpours and strong winds. High 78-85, cooler along the coast.

Friday night: Mostly cloudy, showers and thunderstorms wind down before midnight. Low 57-64.

Saturday: Plenty of clouds with more showers likely. High 70-77.

Saturday night: Any lingering showers end in the evening, then becoming partly cloudy. Low 54-61.

Sunday: Intervals of clouds and hazy sunshine. High 70-77, cooler across Cape Cod.

Sunday night: Partly to mostly cloudy. Low 52-59.

Monday: Partly sunny. High 66-73.

“Summer’s here and the time is right for dancing in the street”

Climatological summer began yesterday, and we’ve got some summer-like weather finally on the way.

Thursday looks to be the warmest day this week. Image provided by WeatherBell.

We have one more cool day today as low pressure continues to slowly pull away from the region. With northwest winds, temperatures will be a little below normal for early June, and we’ll still have some clouds around, especially in the afternoon, with an upper-level low pressure area nearby. Things start to change for Tuesday though with high pressure building in. We’ll have more sunshine, and southwest winds will start to usher milder air in. Winds aloft will still be out of the northwest, so we could see some smoke aloft from Canadian wildfires start to drift in, resulting in some hazy conditions in the afternoon. Wednesday should be a little warm and also a bit more humid, but still comfortable, but we’ll have a better chance for hazy skies as more smoke flows in from the wildfires in central Canada.

By Thursday a cold front will begin to approach from the northwest, but ahead of it should be the warmest and most humid day of the week, temperatures likely reaching or exceeding 90 in many areas away from the South Coast, and dewpoints should get into the 60s in many locations. That front may trigger some showers and thunderstorms during the afternoon and evening. The front will stall out nearby, with keeping temperatures on the mild side for Friday, but not as warm as the previous few days. A wave of low pressure riding along the front may bring some additional showers and thunderstorms later Friday into Saturday. We know, another Saturday with rain. Save your complaints, we only tell you what to expect, we can’t control it. The front finally pulls offshore later Saturday, and high pressure builds in for Sunday with cooler and drier conditions.

Another Saturday with some rain? The models are leaning that way right now. Images provided by Pivotal Weather.

Monday: Sunshine and some afternoon clouds. High 64-71.

Monday night: Clear skies. Low 46-53.

Wednesday night: Clear skies, hazy. Low 57-64.

Thursday: Partly sunny, still hazy at times, chance for some late-day showers and thunderstorms. High 84-91, cooler across the South Coast and Cape Cod.

Friday: Becoming mostly cloudy, showers developing late in the day. High 78-85, cooler across Cape Cod.
