A frontal system will be just offshore through the weekend and it looks like it will remain east of southeastern New England, keeping this area on the cloudier, cooler side. We’ll also be dealing with areas of rain sliding up along the front, most notably today, which will be the wettest day, coverage-wise, with rain for a good portion of RI, eastern MA, and southern NH to some extent, into the afternoon before the area pushes back to the east and out of the region. Clouds may even break late in the day with a few areas possibly (no promises) seeing some sun before it sets. With temperature and dew point hanging out around each other tonight, we cannot rule out areas of fog forming. It looks like clouds will be the rule Sunday but most of the rain should stay offshore, with another patchy area possibly forming but staying to the west of the region. This should leave southeastern New England in between with just a slight risk of showers.<\/p>\n
The front that sits just to the east during the weekend likely dissipates by Monday as a\u00a0 new trough from the west pushes into the region, but takes 4 days to pass by. What does this mean? It means humid, but not hot, and a daily risk of showers and thunderstorms Monday through Thursday. Details and timing will be worked out as each day moves closer.<\/p>\n
