There is still some unceratainty with the track of this disturbance, so please check back with the WJZ First Alert Weather Team for any changes or adjustments to the holiday weekend forecast.

Boston Globe In actuality, we haven't had over an inch of precipitation in a single day since St. Patrick's Day, when 1.75 inches fell. For April, you would have to go back to the end of April 2023 to find a day when over an inch of precipitation fell in the fourth month. Saturday If you have an early field game on Saturday you might be able to get it in before the showers arrive, but I think after 8 or 9 a.m., the risk of shower activity will increase enough that some sports games may be canceled. It appears that anywhere from a quarter to three-quarters of an inch of rain is likely before it comes to an end Saturday evening. Because of the cloud cover on Saturday, temperatures will be cooler and after being in the low to mid-70s on Friday with sunshine, followed by increasing clouds, Saturday features temperatures in the mid-60s.
