Although rain will fall heavily for a brief while, a significant and damaging thunderstorm event is not expected. Such a thunderstorm was seen Wednesday evening in the far North Country, though.
Overnight, new air takes hold with the first comfortable night for sleeping in a while. This fresh air will arrive last to the South Coast but firmly in place by morning.
Friday and Saturday will see highs in the 70s – coolest at the eastern seashores with an onshore wind – and the new air will promote plenty of bubbling clouds. The clouds will especially be seen inland on both days and could yield a sprinkle.
Warmth begins its return Sunday, and while this should also produce clouds and a possible isolated shower, no impactful rain is forecast.
