After a lot of clouds yesterday, we’re waking up to sunshine. It’s dry before we have a few showers to dodge Sunday morning. Your St. Patrick’s Day plans won’t be dampened by the rain. Any amounts are light. By the afternoon, we’ll see some sun and clouds, and it’ll be breezy.
It’ll be a cool start, but then we’re back in the mild air! We’ll stay dry with high pressure to our southwest. Temperatures will rebound to the mid-50s inland. Temperatures will be in the mid 40s to near 50° on the coast.
By Sunday, we’ll watch low pressure out of Canada and an associated front bring us some showers. There won’t be a lot of moisture with this system, given its start out of Canada. Rain amounts will stay light and favor the morning hours. We’ll see some sun and clouds by the afternoon with a lingering chance for a spot shower.
Sunday starts off cool in the 40s with clouds and showers. Then we rebound back to the mid 50s. After the rain, the more noticeable aspect of the Sunday forecast will be the breeze. It’ll be breezy to gusty at times with a wind out of the west/northwest.
For the Southie St. Patrick’s Day Parade, you might bring an umbrella or wear a rain jacket. You might not have to use it though! The best chance for showers is in the morning.
