Yesterday I mentioned that the south coast would have a chance of a shower for today.  Well it turns out that the “chance of a shower” turned into a full on rainy day.  Oops.  Currently the states of CT and RI are socked in by rain.  Which is giving the rest of us the blanket of cloud cover that we are experiencing.  The rain shield should slide to the east or even almost east-southeast.  Meaning that SE MA and the Cape can expect some rain at some point today.  The rest of us can just expect the clouds.

Good news to report is that this weekend looks amazing.  Saturday and Sunday are going to be pristine and very comfortable.  With highs in the upper 70s to low 80s; with dew points in the 50s.  Just perfect.  The only chance of precipitation we have this weekend appears to lie in Northwestern portions of New England and that is late in the day on Sunday.

Looking ahead to next week,  Monday and Tuesday should feature the chance for showers and thunderstorms.  But the rest of the week after that appears dry with highs in the low to mid 80s.  So all in all not that bad a stretch of weather.  Enjoy.
