A low pressure system will effect the region today with rain and windy conditions. On Saturday the system pulls away from southern New England ending the rain with clearing skies later in the day. On Sunday, High pressure builds into the region with sunny skies and light winds.

Fine particles and Ozone are low this morning and should stay that way into Saturday. On Sunday, Ozone and Fine Particles will begin in the good range but Fine Particles will begin to climb later in the day as winds shift to a southwest direction.
