A Quick Weather Check for New England This Weekend

This weekend in New England will feel like a classic spring flip-flop—sunny and warm one day, then damp and cooler the next. Friday looks like the star of the weekend, with most spots hitting the high 80s or near 90. But don’t expect the coast to join the party. Places like Cape Cod and the islands will stay stuck in the 70s thanks to chilly ocean breezes. Meanwhile, inland areas will bake in the heat. Saturday turns up the humidity everywhere. Southern New England will feel the warmest, pushing close to 90, while northern spots like Vermont and New Hampshire will start feeling the first drops of rain later in the day. By Saturday night, those showers will drift south, setting up Sunday for a soggy surprise. The real question is just how wet it’ll get. Expect some light showers in the morning, then heavier bursts around midday before things clear out by Monday.Sunday’s weather might frustrate anyone hoping for a perfect end to the weekend. Temperatures will drop into the 70s, but the humidity will make it feel muggy rather than refreshing. Coastal areas will stay cooler, while inland spots might just barely scrape into the upper 70s. The real kicker? The daylight isn’t changing much yet. We’re already past 15 hours of sun, and we’ll only gain a few minutes before summer officially starts. Make the most of these long days—before they start shrinking again.
