Rain chances increase overnight tonight. If you’re heading out this evening, you may have to dodge a few showers, but the heavier rain holds off until after midnight. A line of downpours with gusty southerly winds and possible thunder/lightning will move through Southern New England from west to east between 2-8 am Saturday. It looks like there will be 0.75-1.5″ rain in CT, RI and SE MA. The temperature stays in the upper 50s to mid 60s overnight.
A few showers are possible after 8-10 am on Saturday until around 12-1 pm. The best chance for rain between 10 am – 1 pm is in northern CT and RI. It’s the back side of a rapidly developing storm system that will bring strong winds Saturday afternoon. Expect northwest winds 15-25 mph with the potential for isolated 45-50 mph gusts in CT, RI and SE MA. There is a higher chance of strong wind gusts from central MA to Boston. Temperatures will tumble from the 50s midday Saturday into the 40s by late in the day.
The wind diminishes under mainly clear skies Saturday night. We get an extra hour of sleep as clocks go back an hour to mark the end of Daylight Saving Time. It will be in the upper 30s to low 40s at dawn on Sunday. Look for some sunshine and a seasonably cool and pleasant day. Highs will reach the low 50s without much of a breeze. It’ll be a nice day for a midday walk.
