Showers and storms come to an end late this evening. Big improvements arrive heading into Saturday.

The sun comes out Saturday morning, but it will still be humid.

Dry air gradually moves in through the day, feeling much more comfortable by the afternoon.

Highs will be near 80 with plenty of sun.

Sunday will be near-perfect. Dry air, lots of sun, and highs again near 80 will make for some incredible weather for getting outdoors.

torms on Friday will give way to sunny skies Sat. and Sun. Sunday the nicer day as it will be very dry. *WGME graphic*

Nice again Monday, but humidity will increase ahead of more widespread showers and storms on Tuesday.

Our next shower and storm chance arrives next Tuesday.

Beyond Tuesday’s wet weather, more sunshine and summer warmth is in store for the middle and latter part of next week. Highs will be in the low to mid 80s.
