Cool, Unsettled Weekend in New England as Offshore Storm Brushes the Coast

Small shifts in the storm’s path would change who sees steady rain.

Overview

  • Scattered, mostly light showers linger Saturday with dry breaks and highs stuck in the 40s to low 50s.
  • In the White Mountains, higher summits saw light snow Saturday and strong wind made hiking dangerous.
  • Forecasters expect the coastal system late Saturday night into Sunday to bring the steadiest rain to Midcoast and Downeast Maine and Cape Cod, though a westward wobble could carry it farther inland.
  • Sheltered and northern spots face patchy frost overnight, which could damage early plantings and garden starts.
  • After the storm pulls away Sunday, a brief warmup brings 60s Monday and widespread 70s Tuesday before new rain chances return mid to late week.
