New Bedford Guide Your Guide to New Bedford and South Coast, MA
An unusually pleasant for this time of year weekend in terms of weather, is in store for us. Saturday will be the coolest day with “only” a high of 49 degrees, but it’ll be mostly sunny. Nothing wrong with that. Friday will be 60 degrees and Sunday close with a high of 57 degrees, but “abundantly sunny.” Most of the weekend will be windy or breezy, however. A phenomenal weekend for those of us who want to enjoy the many goings-on across the South Coast and beyond!
