A warn front will lift north this morning bringing a brief downpour around 11 AM-Noon for South Central MA. Behind this rain shower dew points are in the upper 60's and temperatures are in the mid to upper 80's. Cloud cover should keep temps in the lower 80's in Central MA but any breaks of sun will feature a sharp uptick in temps. Here is the 1004 AM radar image for Southern New England

Certainly not a terrible Saturday but the brief rain and humidity will make it uncomfortable at times. A cold front will pass tomorrow AM triggering another round of showers but it will kick out the humidity. Pleasant September weather is on tap for Monday and Tuesday. I'll post tomorrow.
Cheers,
