THURSDAY AFTERNOON UPDATE
Showers and thunderstorms have been confined to interior New England and will very likely stay away from Southeastern New England this afternoon and early evening.
FROM EARLIER
The comfortably cool sleeping weather will continue Wednesday night as the temperature falls into the mid to upper 50s in the countryside under clear skies. It will be a bit milder, but by no means warm, in the cities. Thursday should start with mostly sunny skies. An approaching disturbance will set off showers and thunderstorms is western New England by early in the afternoon.
It will be partly to mostly cloudy and not as cool Thursday night. Lows will be in the low to mid 60s. Friday looks partly sunny and warm inland. Highs will be in the low to mid 80s inland, and 70s near the coast with a southerly breeze. There is a slight chance of pop-up showers and thunderstorms.
The weather looks unsettled this weekend. It is still unclear exactly when it will rain, but showers are possible both Saturday and Sunday. A disturbance off the Atlantic coast will drift westward, and bring the threat of showers and thunderstorms. Right now, it looks like the best chance of rain is from midday Saturday until midday Sunday, but the timing is subject to change. Highs will be in the mid to upper 70s, and it will be humid. Lows will be in the mid to upper 60s. The rain could be heavy at times with a tropical moisture feed coming out of the Southeastern United States.
Showers are possible Sunday night, and there is still the chance of a pop-up shower on Monday afternoon. It will become partly sunny on Monday with highs in the low 80s. The middle of next week looks drier and possibly warmer. Tuesday and Wednesday will be partly to mostly sunny with highs in the low to mid 80s.
