Expect the majority of rainfall to stay in Southeast Mass as our system remains nearly stagnant over the next couple of days. #MAwx pic.twitter.com/S4uhd6Jsnz

Into the weekend. Skies turn a bit brighter on Sunday into Monday – then we head back into the clouds with the potential of more needed rain midweek #WCVB pic.twitter.com/68103DPfcj
Fitzgibbon advises bringing an umbrella for a “cool and damp day” on Friday.

Cool and damp day- have an umbrella with you. Areas of light rain and drizzle at times wrapping in from an ocean storm, steadiest over SE MA. A raw NE wind holding temps in the low to mid 60s #WCVB pic.twitter.com/ZuFtO40alA
Shiri Spear, a Boston25 meteorologist, warns of “coastal flooding.”

WCVB’s Mike Wankum said to expect “cool” and “breezy” weather through Saturday, but “not much rain.”
Cool, breezy with scattered shows through Saturday. Unfortunately it’s not much rain. The most likely spot for wet weather will be toward the Cape and Islands. Sunshine by Monday and possibly some more widespread rain the middle of next week. pic.twitter.com/RcXvPbufBq
