This weekend will be a yo-yo sort of one in terms of weather. We’ll experience a low of 20 degrees and a high of 56 degrees. Only in New England! We’ll start out OK in terms of sunshine, but each day will get progressively worse. By Sunday we’ll have periods of rain. However, on the bright side of things it’ll be 56 degrees!
