The weather in New England takes a turn for the better on Sunday, with lower dew points making for a more comfortable day under partly sunny skies.
The cold front will have passed with dry air funneling in behind with a cooler northwesterly flow. This will set up a sunny day with variable clouds. A bit of a breeze will be in place with the chance for a stray shower or two slipping into New England from the backside energy of the system, but mainly any Sunday rain will be held to Northern New England.
Temperatures will likely reach 70 degrees once again, but dew points will slip back down into comfortable levels, making Sunday the pick of the weekend.
