Unsettled Weather Pattern Begins Overnight!

After another beautiful day here in Southern New England, the stretch of easy-going weather has come to an end.

Overnight tonight expect more cloud cover and some areas of patchy fog. Temperatures fall into the upper 40s and low 50s. But the big ticket item in the next 12 hours is a warm front that will drive rain and possibly a few rumbles of thunder our way very early Friday morning. Expect the rain to begin around 5 AM or so and end around 7:45 AM.

We get a break during the daytime on Friday. We’ll be in and out of the clouds, with a muggier feel and warmer temperatures. Expect the 60s along the coast and the low to mid 70s inland. We’re also looking at the potential for an isolated shower or thunderstorm late Friday afternoon/early evening as well — not a widespread issue, but something to keep in mind if you have plans after work on Friday.

Saturday will bring its own issues, but allow me to emphasize the entire day certainly isn’t a loss! In fact, most of Saturday stays dry, and temperatures are in the 70s inland and 60s along the coast yet again. That said, as a cold front approaches later Saturday afternoon we could see a few showers, and by the evening we’re looking at the potential for a few thunderstorms as well. Some of those storms could pack heavy rain and gusty winds.

The rain tails off as we get to the early hours of Sunday, and while Sunday starts of foggy and misty, we should stay largely dry save for a shower or two.
