Saturday will be your better (and dry) day to be outside.More clouds will gather overnight. That’ll keep most of us near 40° tomorrow morning. We’ll hold on to a lot of clouds throughout the day. It’ll start off breezy along the coast. An east/southeast wind will fill in more for everyone through the day. It’ll be gusty on the coast. Like today, that wind direction will pull cooler air off the Atlantic (47° as of this writing) and onshore. The coast will stay in the upper 40s/low 50s. Inland towns will be in the upper 50s/low 60s. Saturday evening will remain dry, but breezy. Rain will move in overnight, and the band will slide west to east through the morning.
