The caveat is that with the break in the rain, moderately warm air will help build the chance for popcorn showers to develop along the front as it passes through the afternoon. This can bring brief downpours to those who get caught up in a passing cell.

Rain can become heavy at times, with a few spots across New England seeing over an inch of rain, especially across Northern New England. Some backside showers will likely linger during the day on Sunday.

The clouds will tame temperatures a bit with Saturday highs reaching the low to mid-60s. A southerly breeze of about 15 miles per hour is likely with a few gusts to 20-30 miles an hour as the front passes.

Sunday turns a touch cooler as the back side of the storm will bring a northerly flow into the picture. Boston should see a mix of sun and clouds with highs stalling in the upper 50s or barely touching the 60s. There is a low chance for a Sunday morning sprinkle in the city, but most backside rain showers should be held to Northern New England on Sunday.
