Areas of dense fog will continue to reduce visibility to near zero, especially across the south coast, Cape & islands through Friday morning.
Heavy showers will spread in intensity and in coverage through Friday mid-morning. However, embedded downpours and thunderstorms will lighten up as the morning goes by.
By afternoon, the showers will begin to peel away with sun gradually working in from west to east. Temperatures will climb into the 70s as the wind turns around to the northwest. That will gradually drop the humidity, in addition to clearing us out.
By Friday night, all of New England, even at the coast where clouds and showers last longest, will be in good shape weather-wise.
Summer also officially begins on Friday and the first full weekend of summer looks beautiful.
Expect plenty of sunshine on Saturday with highs in the 70s to around 80. It will be breezy and much less humid. Puffy clouds will develop during the afternoon and a spot shower or sprinkle is possible over higher terrain.
