All looking GOOD on the air quality front for today and through Sunday, with cool ocean winds keeping things clean. An area of low pressure will meander south of New England on Friday, with steady NE winds, clouds, and a chance of showers.  Highs in the mid 50s.  The low strengthens offshore, but out of our window for precipitation on Saturday, with more clouds than sun, NE winds 8-12 mph, and highs in the mid to upper 50s.  Sunshine will again be limited on Sunday, with winds shifting south during the afternoon.  Highs in the upper 50s.  No wildfire smoke expected to impact through the period.
