The last weekend of 2023 kicks off with a cloudy morning featuring mist, drizzle, and a potential for fog until around 10 am. There's a 60% chance of rain throughout the day Saturday, although not everyone will get wet.
A trough over southern New England in the morning will lift into the Gulf of Maine by late day. We can expect isolated to scattered showers across southern New England from early morning into the afternoon. After the sun goes down, the clouds will gradually break apart, hinting at a clear New Year’s Eve.
