Weather Now: Few showers around today; nice weekend ahead

Good morning! Happy Wednesday. We’re going to be seeing a few showers around today, tonight into Thursday. But the weekend, looks a-mazing!

WED 4:45AM RADAR UPDATE: We're tracking some rain to our south, working toward Southern New England. There is some dry air above us, so some of this may fall apart, but some showers are certainly possible…especially near the south shore. pic.twitter.com/sEA0ZTCPIe
