Happy birthday America! Sunny skies this morning will give way to more in the way of clouds throughout the day. A sprinkle cannot be ruled out either, but any will not be a big issue. Independence Day also kicks off a muggier trend across Southern New England as persistent winds from the south/southwest through the weekend. Highs for the 4th will top out in the low 80s inland and mid 70s at the shore. Firework weather will be dry but there will be some showers that move in late at night into Friday morning. That cold front will move out and clouds will part for sun late Friday, bringing things a touch warmer. Another weak front will move through early Saturday with a few showers and storms. Sunday looks drier and much warmer, with highs approaching 90. Combined with the humidity, it will feel like the low 90s right into next week. Happy Fourth all! –Geoff Categories: News, Weather Forecast
