Memorial Day Weekend Forecast: Saturday Will Be Hot, Rain Possible Monday

Memorial Day weekend is here and the weather generally looks like it will cooperate.

The immediate south coast and Cape Cod remain in the 60s and lower 70s Friday, but inland areas will see temperatures rise into the 80s. Saturday will be hot. Boston's high temperature record for Saturday — 91 degrees, set back in 1931 -- could be broken if winds stay offshore all day.

Sunday should be partly sunny and not as warm as Saturday. You might see a shower in the forecast on Sunday, however the odds are quite slim and most of you will remain dry.

Monday brings a better chance of a few showers. The exact path of some tropical moisture will determine if Monday is a day with scattered showers and mostly dry in between, or a day with tropical downpours.

Although the National Weather Service isn’t calling our dry spell a drought yet, if this pattern of no rain doesn’t change soon, it’s only a matter of time.
