This weekend, those features suppress stormy weather to our south, while promoting sunshine and warmth in New England. Fair weather dominates through at least next Thursday or Friday. Thereafter, I will be following trends for shower potential late Friday into the weekend. But for now? Sit back, relax, protect yourself from the sun if you burn easily, but otherwise get ready for a super bright, warm, and calm holiday weekend. I hope you have a great day and that things go your way! >>> BE KIND <<< “Hello babies. Welcome to Earth. It's hot in the summer and cold in the winter. It's round and wet and crowded. On the outside, babies, you've got a hundred years here. There's only one rule that I know of, babies: Goddamn it, you've got to be kind.” --Kurt Vonnegut
