Weekend Insights: Improvement Saturday, Beautiful Sunday

We’re almost out of this soggy stretch!  Let’s talk about what’s ahead:

Friday into Saturday – The Last of the Rain

Most of the rain will have already fallen by Friday night. Expect lingering showers on Saturday, mainly across central and northern New England, with a few wraparound downpours possible as the storm pulls away. But — and this is key — we’ll see a drying trend through Saturday afternoon, especially in southern areas.

Some sunshine could even break through late in the day, particularly west of I-495. Temps will hover in the 50s to low 60s, and it’ll be breezy. Not the prettiest, but not a washout either.

Sunday – Mother’s Day Looks Fantastic

High pressure builds in Saturday night and takes full control Sunday. Expect:

  • Bright sunshine for central and southern New England

  • A few extra clouds in northern areas, maybe a stray sprinkle near the Canadian border

  • Highs in the 60s, near 70 in the lower CT River Valley

All in all, a truly pleasant day — and a great one to celebrate Mom!

Next Week – Hello, Warmth!

The ridge builds in and we warm up fast. We’re talking:

  • 70s Monday

  • 80s Tuesday in parts of southern New England

  • Some clouds and a chance of showers by midweek, especially on Wednesday

Temps will stay seasonable through mid to late week, with a touch of cooler air possible along the coast next Friday.

A Quick Word on Rain Totals

Remainder of today into tonight:

  • Widespread 1–2″ for most of New England

  • Localized flooding remains a concern, particularly in areas still saturated from recent rain
