Overview

• A Thursday shift to southerly winds near 10–15 mph brings a late-day or overnight shower chance mainly in western New England.
• Friday turns warmer and muggy with highs in the mid-80s and dew points in the mid to upper 60s, with only isolated morning or brief light showers.
• Another front on Saturday raises rain coverage slightly with scattered showers and a couple of late-day or evening thunderstorms possible, while temperatures again reach the mid-80s.
• Behind the front, Sunday features lower humidity, more sunshine, and highs in the mid-70s with only a brief sprinkle in spots at most.
• Forecasters are monitoring a tropical wave in the eastern Atlantic with a high chance of developing into a tropical depression later this week or weekend, with the next name Gabrielle and no immediate impact on New England.
