The streak of dry days continues this final full weekend of summer with a good amount of sunshine and comfortably warm temperatures. There’s not a lot to talk about except for a back-door cold front which will change the wind direction from northwest to northeast this afternoon allowing for slightly cooler temperatures along the coast.
An isolated shower or sprinkle possible, mainly over eastern New Hampshire and western Maine later this afternoon, one of those rogue showers/sprinkles may sneak into northern Mass. by this evening or early tonight, but that’s a long shot! Highs mid to upper 70s coast, low to mid 80s inland.

The new work week starts off warm, dry, a bit humid, and with plenty of sunshine, highs low 80s Monday, mid 80s Tuesday.

Weather
Though technically we’re not in a drought, it has been extremely dry the past several weeks and any rain would help out at this point as we’re starting to see an uptick in brush fires.
Have a great Saturday!
