If you’re trying to plan your weekend or wondering whether the rain will cancel your Thursday plans, Danielle Noyes has you covered in today’s Wednesday Insights. A wave of low pressure along a warm front will result in pockets of rain, embedded thunder, and downpours – particularly for southern and eastern parts of the region. The afternoon brings a chance for pop-up thunderstorms inland, especially if we see any breaks of sun to destabilize the atmosphere. These storms will be slow movers, and localized flooding is a concern – with the potential for 1–2 inches of rain in a short period of time if you’re under one of those cells.
Friday improves, though Danielle still flags a chance for an isolated inland storm during the afternoon, accompanied by heavy downpours and possibly small hail. But overall, it’s a better day with more sun and less widespread action. The weekend? A win! While a sprinkle or brief pop-up storm can’t be ruled out Saturday (especially in southern New England), Danielle is confident that weekend outdoor plans should be good to go. Sunday looks even warmer – inland spots could reach 90°, especially across the Champlain Valley – though a cold front approaching from the west will be something to watch for later in the day.
Temperatures the next few days remain slightly cooler than average near the coast – 60s and low 70s for some – while interior spots warm into the 80s. Sea breezes are expected, but wind won’t be a big factor overall outside of isolated thunderstorms. And while humidity fluctuates, it doesn’t truly leave. Danielle reminds viewers that if you’re sensitive to sticky air, it’s an extended stretch of “soupy” weather.
