To say the last few days have been brutally hot might be an understatement, but local forecasters are saying the weekend should provide some relief.
Though Friday is predicted to be very hot yet again — heat indexes between 95 and 100 for some areas — the National Weather Service forecasts a cold front moving in for the weekend, and much less humidity.
[430 AM] Good morning everyone and Happy Friday! A cold front moves through late today into overnight, ushering in a much less humid air mass for the weekend. Enjoy! #MAwx #RIwx #CTwx pic.twitter.com/3tIvrFk5oF

The humidity will drop this weekend but it will be rather overcast both Saturday and Sunday. Not a washout but there could be some drizzle on Saturday and a slightly better chance of showers on Sunday. There will also be a few sunny breaks this weekend. . #wcvb pic.twitter.com/44wQPxj5G4
