Massachusetts Weather Shifts

A cold front moved into Massachusetts on Friday, bringing a chance of showers and thunderstorms to the region. The showers were expected to move southward throughout the day, with the greatest chance of thunderstorms near Cape Cod.

The storms were predicted to clear out by Friday night, making way for a more comfortable weekend. Overnight temperatures could be cool enough for patchy valley fog to form.

Saturday was forecast to be pleasant, with temperatures in the mid-80s and low humidity. The dry weather was expected to continue through Sunday and Monday, with high pressure building over New England.

By Tuesday, winds were predicted to pick up, with gusts of around 35 miles per hour possible. This could bring some rain to the region, but forecasters weren't expecting high totals.

A bigger change was forecast for the middle of next week, when temperatures were expected to rise into the low to mid-90s. The heat and humidity were predicted to return, making it feel more like summer.

Looking ahead to the end of next week, forecast models suggested a possible increase in rain chances and slightly cooler temperatures. This could provide some relief from the heat, but it's still early and forecasters are watching the situation closely.
