[Weather Highlights Through This Weekend]

✅ Friday: One last very warm to hot day & scattered afternoon t-storms ahead of a cold front. A couple storms could be strong.

Get ready for a roller coaster of temperatures over the next three days. 🎢 After hot 🌡️ days in the upper 80s and 90s Thursday and Friday ☀️ we're in for a big change over the weekend when temperatures won't get above the 50s and mid 60s with showers. 🌧️ pic.twitter.com/pGZmgjlaZT

LATE FRIDAY…
Bring the risk of showers and t-storms as a cold front drops south into 90° heat. Not everyone will see rain as it will be hit or miss but they will tend to favor central MA late afternoon and shift closer to Boston and the coast toward evening. #WCVB pic.twitter.com/pkVfOArAjs

THE WEEKEND…
Is looking damp and chilly for June with a raw NE wind. Low pressure forming on the front offshore brings rounds of showers and a gusty wind off the ocean. Temps struggle through the 50s. Perhaps this is payback for our beautiful Memorial Day Weekend?! #WCVB pic.twitter.com/jRfRQdoQgD

NEXT 7 DAYS…
Summer heat into Friday then a major cool down this weekend with temps stuck in the 50s. Low pressure offshore will bring periods of rain and showers at times with a raw NE wind. Improvements come gradually mid to late week #WCVB pic.twitter.com/BEAQh23qUj

High heat starts June, but temps tumble into the weekend as cold wind and some rain at times move in. pic.twitter.com/2jvIpg9HJd

Average high is in the low 70s. Well above it next two days, well below it over the weekend. Average it out… well, probably the 5 day average… not far from average. pic.twitter.com/FPBPCiSvoX

Temps push into the lower 90s away from the coast. pic.twitter.com/dnZ7CkGT5a

Ugly looking pattern for the weekend. Rain at times, gusty northeast winds. Temps stuck in the 50s. Yikes! pic.twitter.com/sOP0ICYztB

Record highs possible for inland areas to end the week, but what a fall coming in after the heat. Latest look at the forecast at 11 #wbz pic.twitter.com/4VvzpsjRmn

Rain on the way, but how much? Still in flux

Yesterday looked very wet Sunday-Monday…but last 24 swinging back drier pic.twitter.com/EGoJGBx5eI

June outlook from @NWSCPC. Looks reasonable, though I think it may be wetter than this is indicating pic.twitter.com/2BN4qojA3H
