New Englanders, get ready for a weekend full of twists and turns! Friday will be windy and cold, Saturday will feel like a taste of spring, and Sunday? Well, Sunday brings rain, cooler temps, and one less hour of sleep.
Here’s everything you need to know so you can make the most of it!
Friday: Wind Gusts Will Have You Holding Onto Your Hat!
Friday’s weather will be a bit of a mess—strong winds, chilly temps, and a whole lot of “why does it feel this cold?”
Temps:
- Morning: Cold, with wind chills making it feel like the teens!
- Afternoon: Highs in the 40s°F (4-9°C), but the wind will make it feel much colder.
Wind Gusts:
- Up to 50-55 mph in Connecticut, Massachusetts, and Rhode Island.
- Strongest along the coast and in higher elevations.
What You Need to Know:
- Possible power outages – Charge your phone and have a flashlight ready.
- Driving may be tricky – Strong gusts could push your car around, especially on bridges and highways.
- Secure outdoor items – If you don’t want your trash cans or patio furniture ending up in your neighbor’s yard, bring them inside!
Bottom line: Friday will be windy, cold, and kind of unpleasant—so bundle up and hang on tight!
Saturday: Spring Sneaks In for the Day!
After Friday’s blustery weather, Saturday is bringing the sunshine and warmth we’ve all been waiting for!
🌡️ Highs Across New England:
- Boston: 54°F (12°C)
- Hartford: 55°F (13°C)
- Providence: 52°F (11°C)
- Portland, ME: 49°F (9°C)
What to Do With This Gorgeous Day:
Take a long walk or go for a hike—this is the kind of day that just feels good!
Open your windows—let that fresh air in before Sunday’s rain moves in.
Run errands or do yard work—because Sunday might not be so friendly for outdoor plans.
If you’ve been itching to spend time outside without shivering, Saturday is your golden opportunity!
Sunday: Rainy, Cooler, and One Less Hour of Sleep!
And just like that, the weekend takes a turn. Sunday starts with rain showers and cooler temperatures, making for a gloomy morning.
Temps:
- Highs in the mid-40s to low 50s°F (7-10°C).
- Cooler than Saturday, but not freezing.
What to Expect:
- Morning rain – Have an umbrella handy if you’re heading out early.
- Clouds lingering into the afternoon – Not a total washout, but definitely not as nice as Saturday.
And of course, let’s not forget the biggest Sunday inconvenience…
Daylight Saving Time Begins at 2:00 AM!
- We lose an hour of sleep—so expect to feel a little groggy.
- Sunset will be after 7 PM! (Finally, longer daylight in the evenings!)
- Manually set your clocks—your phone will update automatically, but your oven, microwave, and car clock probably won’t.
