It’s a nice weekend across New England, as our low pressure system has pushed further south, we keep the showers mainly across coastal CT & RI. The rain shield is expected to move northeastward, with light rain mainly affecting areas south of a line from Hartford to Providence.
This light rain won't be a washout; instead, it's more of a nuisance. Dry weather is expected in the northeast of this line, with clouds increasing throughout the day. Temperatures will reach the upper 50s in Connecticut and western-central Massachusetts and the lower 60s in Rhode Island and eastern Massachusetts, slightly cooler than normal.

Tonight and into Sunday, low pressure emerging off the mid-Atlantic coast will intensify as it moves eastward allowing for the immediate south coast, including the Cape and Islands, to experience a period of rain tonight into early Sunday.
The rain is expected to clear out early Sunday, with partial sunshine developing as the system departs. Breezy conditions are anticipated, especially around the Cape and Islands, with northerly wind gusts of 20 to 30 mph and even a few gusts near 35 mph on Nantucket. High temperatures should reach the upper 50s and lower 60s, which wouldn’t be too different from this afternoon.
