As the system that brings this rain meanders over the region into Friday morning, that means a few showers linger early Friday before it clears out and dry weather settles in for the end of the week and into the weekend.
By 7AM Friday, the showers will be isolated to the Cape and Islands before clearing out by late morning.
We’re dry Friday afternoon and into the weekend, which will cause our pollen count to rise.
