New Bedford Guide Your Guide to New Bedford and South Coast, MA
A rather mild weekend when it comes to temperatures – you should be OK with a good hoodie or sweatshirt with day-time temperatures in the low 40s. Mornings however, will be pretty brisk as we’ll start each day below freezing. So, dress warm as you head out, but perhaps use layers so you can take one of them off as the sun pops out. Last bit to mention is the “s” word – we may have some snow on Sunday in the form of a snow shower, but fret not because it won’t be enough accumulation to worry yourself.
