Damp End Of The Work Week Leads To A Dry And Cool Weekend In MA

BOSTON — With pollen counts up, rain off and on, and fluctuating temperatures throughout Massachusetts, it seems like June is finally on its way in.

Thursday and Friday will be a bit gloomy with high chances of scattered showers. High levels of humidity mixed with overcast clouds may make you feel like hiding inside until the weekend. Friday night welcomes an even higher chance of showers before 9 p.m. before becoming calm around midnight.

Once the showers kick off Thursday, there is a chance we could see a bit of a warmup late Friday afternoon if the sun breaks out long enough.

It should be a lot nicer Saturday and Sunday, with clear skies and highs in the low 70s, giving the start of June a much more seasonable feel with low levels of humidity. According to AccuWeather, the temperatures should start to creep up into the mid to upper 70s by Saturday afternoon into Sunday.

Here's a breakdown of the remainder of this week's weather, according to the NWS:
