Sunday will have the best weather this weekend
This is our first weekend of summer, and it’s looking pretty nice. For many, this is also the first weekend the kids will be out of school, and you likely don’t want them stuck in the house. The big weather question is how quickly a front moves east on Saturday. As long as the front keeps on moving we will see some sun by the second part of the day; a slower moving front keeps clouds and the risk of showers around. The driest part of the area will be north and west of Interstate 495, with the cloudiest and highest risk of showers over Cape Cod and the Islands.
Friday is warm and humid.
A warm front pushing to our north has allowed warm and humid air back into the region. This means Friday is going to have that feeling of summer again with high humidity and very warm temperatures. Highs will be well into the 80s in the afternoon. I don’t expect a lot of sunshine, and there could be scattered showers and storms. Many of you will miss them, but there will be downpours in those that occur. Keep an eye to the sky in the afternoon.
Friday’s highs will reach the mid-80s in most places.
Saturday is the unsettled day this weekend.
The weather Saturday shouldn’t be a washout, but there is the risk of showers in the middle of the day. These again could contain thunder and a downpour. The theme is for the air to dry out during the latter half of the afternoon. I wouldn’t cancel any plans, but know there could be an interruption from the showers. Humidity will be highest in the morning then tend to fall in the afternoon.
It will become less humid later Saturday and still be warm.
Warm and dry Sunday.
Sunday is the pick of the weekend. There is no chance of rain; there will be abundant sunshine; and humidity will be quite low. High pressure takes over and keeps us in a great pattern for a nice Monday as well.
Pleasantly warm temperatures will be found for Sunday across New England
If you are headed to the beach, tides will be high around noon at most beaches, but check your local tide table for the exact time. There is still no major prolonged heat or humidity in site as we finish out the final week of June.
