This is your “Evening Essentials” and I think you’re going to love the forecast. Tonight, expect clear skies with light winds as temperatures gradually drop from the lower 70s into the 60s and eventually into the 50s overnight. It will be comfortable for sleeping, with just a few high clouds passing by. The coolest spots in far northern New Hampshire and the Northeast Kingdom of Vermont will dip into the upper 40s, while Eastern Massachusetts and Cape Cod will see overnight lows in the lower 60s.
Tomorrow promises to be a beautiful start to the weekend with sunshine and just a few afternoon clouds. No need to worry about rain—outdoor plans are good to go from morning to night! High temperatures will be seasonable for late August, ranging from 80 to 85 degrees in many areas. The Cape and coastal Maine will be in the 70s, with far northern New England seeing upper 70s to lower 80s. A light west wind will allow for some local sea breezes along the coast, making for splendid weather from the mountains to the beaches.
If you’re heading out, remember that the UV index will be high, so don’t forget the sunscreen! The lakes region will be gorgeous, with water temperatures around 70 degrees. Beaches will be perfect, with highs in the upper 70s, a gentle onshore wind, and low rip current risk. There’s a mid-afternoon high tide, and with 1 to 2-foot waves: it’s ideal for a beach day.
Looking ahead, there’s a chance for showers and thunder by Sunday. We’ll keep you updated, so check back tomorrow for more details.
