With partly sunny skies at the start of our Saturday, we’ll see increasing clouds incoming from the west and showers that will push eastward through the afternoon. These showers will come scattered and with a few breaks of sun/daytime heating, there may be a chance to have a few storms developing.
With the strongest storms we may watch for some thunder and the chance of graupel and hail in some isolated spots. The wind speeds may increase from 15-25 mph through tomorrow afternoon, some storms may bring up the chance of watching winds gusting close to 30 mph.
The highest chance of showers will take place in western and central New England, but this rain does move into eastern New England at some point through the afternoon.
By Saturday evening, most of the activity will be located along Maine in the far northeast and plenty of clearing will grow in the south. Our temperatures this weekend will fluctuate from the upper 50s tomorrow to the mid-50s on Sunday. And even though our showers won’t make for an essential start to the weekend, our Sunday is looking much better with more periods of sun and the chance of isolated showers popping up through the afternoon.
