Brief weekend showers

FOG & SUN FRIDAY

Get set for patchy fog for the morning commute today. There may be a little mist or isolated drizzle, but measurable rain will be quite isolated. Clouds will thin midday and afternoon, turning partly sunny with a warm-up back to the 70s.

Beach-goers beware! An ocean storm will contribute to a high rip current risk at the local beaches along with building waves. Waves up to 9 feet will peak Saturday morning. Most of the beaches don’t have life guards after Labor Day, so please be cautious.

WEEKEND RAIN CHANCE

Partly to mostly cloudy skies will rule Saturday as a front approaches from the west. Expect overcast skies into the early evening with rain arriving from west to east. The brief rain will move out just after midnight. Rain totals 0.1″ or less are expected at the coast with 0.25-0.5″ farther inland, highest in western MA.

Sunday will be the pick of the weekend with mostly sunny skies and highs in the lower 70s. After a wave of moderate humidity Friday and Saturday, Sunday will drop to a lower, more refreshing level again.
