A large ocean storm will stay well offshore as it passes to our east, but we'll deal with some large swells along the coast from it Friday into Saturday.
A high surf advisory has been issued for eastern Massachusetts, including Cape Cod and Nantucket through Saturday with waves reaching 4 to 9 feet. Dangerous rip currents are also expected, so please take every precaution to stay safe if heading to the beaches Friday and Saturday.
Overall, the weekend is looking dry except for a minor hiccup late Saturday and early Saturday night as a cold front slides through the region and delivers some scattered showers.
Low clouds will be a bit stubborn to clear Friday afternoon, but the sun should win out, especially over the interior. A stray sprinkle can't be ruled out along the immediate coast as we deal with an east-northeasterly air flow, but most will stay dry.
Highs reach the low to mid-70s coast, mid to upper 70s inland.
Mostly cloudy overnight with areas of patchy fog developing along with some sprinkles and drizzle around through early Saturday morning, low temperatures in the 50s and 60s.
