After a sunny Friday, clouds roll back in. Another soaking rain Saturday evening-Sunday AM and then a much drier pattern takes hold for next week. A new moon means tides are running high- minor to moderate coastal flooding potential with Sunday's high tide #WCVB pic.twitter.com/khQnsuq5MI

Sun's Back… For Now. Downpours Saturday night. pic.twitter.com/5IW5PhRRCB

More hours of the weekend will be spent dry than wet, but there is plenty of action: midday coastal flooding from a New Moon high tide, a shot of rain and wind for many, mountain snow north. Full details in the Daily Forecast Video at the link: https://t.co/YNyu98T02C pic.twitter.com/iGGtTCCQtf

Forecast temperatures this weekend make it pretty clear that after a burst of Saturday night snow in Northern/Western New England (& maybe a brief, wet coating as far as Rte 2 in Northern MA), elevation will be key with areas 1200'+ picking up the most. pic.twitter.com/n5sSmWBw1c

Pretty quick shot, but a dynamic system Sat Night/Sun AM. Tides are high because of New Moon, so minor coastal flooding Sat, minor to low-end moderate possible Sunday midday. Predawn Sunday downpours/wind may have thunder & southeast coastal gusts to 50, isolated outages. pic.twitter.com/YEJFNO2n3E
