Weekend Edition: Active Saturday With Smoke, Storms and Rising Rip Risk Before a Better Sunday

Danielle Noyes has your Weekend Edition forecast for New England. Saturday is active: wildfire smoke returns both aloft and near the surface, air quality may be reduced, humidity surges, and scattered showers, downpours and thunderstorms develop through the afternoon and evening. A few storms may be strong to severe with torrential rain, localized flooding, lightning and brief gusty wind. Winds increase Saturday, seas build quickly late day, and rip current risk spikes by late afternoon and evening. Sunday is the pick of the weekend. A lingering early shower is possible, especially Cape Cod or the mountains, then sunshine returns, humidity drops and a northwest breeze brings a much fresher feel. 📲 Keep radar in Past + Future mode and alerts on in the free 1DegreeOutside Weather App. 💙 Beach, boating and golf discussions: membership.1degreeoutside.com #NewEnglandWeather #WeekendForecast #SevereWeather #RipCurrents #1DegreeOutside
