Rainy Weekend Ahead with Low TemperaturesAnother system moves in for this weekend, with rain chances Saturday evening through Sunday and highs in the low 40s. Our east, northeast breeze continues to keep drizzle, low clouds, fog and cool temperatures, especially across the coast and eastern New England giving us a raw feel all day long. More showers fill in through the afternoon to evening commute from southwest to northeast. High temps stay in the low 40s. By Wednesday, our temps warm just a bit to 50s and low 60s, as we see a break in rain and some sunshine as we sit between systems. Wednesday night, we have two systems moving in. One is a weak boundary from the northwest. At the same time, a coastal low moves in from the south. Heavy rain and wind will bring us into Thursday morning and a First Alert day. With so much rain, there is a risk for some flooding in southeastern New England in low-lying areas, around rivers or streams and in urban areas. Drier air returns for Friday briefly with some sun and highs in the 40s again. Although a few ocean-effect snow flurries may be found across Cape Cod.
