CLOUDS WIN THIS ONE

Enjoy the early sunshine! Clouds will puff up and blend with blue skies today, leading to a mostly cloudy forecast. Highs will reach the upper 50s at the beaches and low-mid 60s inland. Most of the day will remain dry. There may be an isolated shower late afternoon or evening. We’re favoring northeastern MA, central MA, and southern NH for those few showers.

The best chance for rain will come through tonight through Friday morning. Areas south of the Mass Pike will most likely see a period of light rain. Showers are set to wrap up early Friday. The rest of the day will be cool and mostly cloudy with highs stuck in the 50s.

MOTHER’S DAY WEEKEND

More of the same is expected Saturday with cloud cover outweighing sunshine. Cold air aloft will peak across New England Sunday which will trigger clouds and drizzle. Although Mother’s Day doesn’t look like a washout, it will probably be soggy at times. Plan on weekend highs in the 50s.
