While temperatures will not be extreme, lingering moisture will favor occasional downpours and high humidity around Boston this weekend.
Cloud cover, showers and a flow off the ocean much of the time will keep daytime temperatures at bay.

Where the downpours occur there can be torrential rainfall and localized flooding.
Meanwhile, a sprawling system near Bermuda could take on tropical characteristics this weekend. Regardless of development, the large storm could produce rough surf on area beaches. The system is not associated with Danny, which is on a path for the Caribbean.
