Cloudy Saturday night makes it hard to see northern lights across Southern New England
An increasingly cloudy sky Saturday night will make it hard, if not impossible, to see the northern lights for a second night across most of Southern New England.
Low pressure west of New England will spread clouds across the region Saturday night into Sunday. Expect an overcast Mother’s Day for Rhode Island and Southeastern Massachusetts.
Temperatures will be cooler than average for mid-May, topping out in the upper 50s on Sunday in most spots.
We can’t rule out a few sprinkles or light rain showers on Sunday during the midday hours, between 10 a.m. and 5 p.m., but the rain chance is fairly low overall.
Surprise, surprise – warmer, drier weather returns to start the work week. Southern New England has been in a repeating pattern of not-so-great weekends, and much nicer weather on Mondays/Tuesdays for the past month, a pattern that will repeat at least one more week.
High temperatures on Monday will reach the upper 60s, with low 70s expected on Tuesday.
Our next significant chance for rain arrives Tuesday night into Wednesday.
