Rainy, cold conditions marked the start of the weekend, with highs only reaching 55 degrees—10 degrees below average. The rainfall over the past 24 hours has varied, with some areas, particularly Northern Worcester County, receiving steady rains. These showers are expected to continue tonight and into Saturday morning before gradually clearing up in the afternoon.
As the storm system moves northward, it is dragging drier air in its wake. While scattered showers may linger overnight, by early afternoon Saturday, clearer skies are anticipated, allowing sunshine to break through, especially in inland areas like Cape Ann and Cape Cod. Sunday is expected to be significantly sunnier and milder, providing a welcome change with wall-to-wall sunshine and temperatures reaching the 60s.
The early part of next week looks promising, with high pressure establishing clearer conditions through at least Wednesday. Temperatures on Mother’s Day are projected to be around 70 degrees, offering a lovely day for outdoor activities. The week continues to favor dry weather until Thursday when the chance of rain returns.
This weekend, despite the initial dreary weather, there are brighter and warmer days ahead, making it a perfect opportunity to enjoy the outdoors. The transition to sunnier skies can uplift spirits, encouraging people to plan enjoyable activities as the weather improves.
