A year later and the ending turned out to be the exact same for the Brookline and Needham boys volleyball teams.

The No. 2 Warriors took home the Division 1 state title for the second year in a row over their Bay State Conference rival and top-seeded Rockets with a 3-1 victory (25-20, 25-22, 23-25, 25-17).

It took two days for Brookline to capture the hardware and a change in venue as the match was suspended Friday night midway through the second set due to poor floor conditions caused by moisture.

The restart at Hopkinton High didn’t halt any of Brookline’s momentum after it took the first set Friday night as the Warriors won the second set, 25-22, before Needham rallied to win the third frame, 25-23.

Brookline bounced back, though, and got a final kill from Amir Tomer to send the Warriors into celebration.

Along with taking down Needham, Brookline also defeated Woburn (3-0), Arlington (3-0), Newton South (3-1) and Natick (3-2) en route to its state title.

For only the third time since the start of March, the weekend is rain-free.

If you count the overnight on Sunday, however, we will technically not be, thanks to leftover storms and rain that move in late.

For purely planning purposes, we’re good to go for any outdoor events both days — including if you’re heading to our first local World Cup match at Boston Stadium, or any watch parties, on Saturday.

The dew points have dropped, so the heavy, hanging air has lifted.

We’re still seeing hot temperatures, with highs both today and tomorrow reaching the low 90s.

This is an ideal beach weekend, too. Tides are high early in the day (lots of beach in the afternoon), and winds will mostly be coming from land.

Speaking of wind, the gusts get a little strong on Sunday afternoon ahead of a vigorous weather system pushing through Sunday night.

There’s some hope that we get some decent rain from this system. Guidance shows up to half an inch in spots – although it doesn’t show it being widespread. In any event, we’ll clear for more sun on Monday and continue to see the temps slide into Tuesday.

Our next focus will be a stronger storm system by Thursday. It’s early, but if all the ingredients come together, we could be seeing some severe weather in parts of New England.

Have a great weekend!
