Warmer days ahead as summer makes one of its last stands. Highs will soar back into the low and mid 80s as south winds bring in the humidity.
Our best chance of a passing shower is early this morning, so if you’re reading this after 7-8 a.m., you missed it. More opportunities present themselves over the weekend.
Storms will fire Saturday afternoon and slide east into our region by 6 to 8 p.m. Unfortunately, most of these will fade out before the make it to the coast.
However, where we do see storms – along and west/north of Interstate 495 – we could see some strong winds, large hail, and, if the storms start rotating, a small chance of a tornado.
(This risk is small and isolated to only the strongest storms.)
The best chance for a steady, gentle rain will be early on Sunday as a cold front slowly crosses the area. Cooler air will move in, too, snuffing out the heat for good.
We’re not talking about a total washout, so there’s some hope for the Patriots game as the showers diminish later in the afternoon.
The most optimistic rainfall estimates give us about a half inch.
It’s helpful, but it’s just a drop in the bucket in terms of our big rain deficit.
The cool theme continues into next week as well (especially in the mornings). Highs hover around 70 right through the end of the week.
We’ll stay dry, as storm systems stay far offshore.
Enjoy the warmth this weekend!
