Labor Day weekend is not shaping up to be a washout, even though it may not start dry. Meteorologist Kevin Skarupa said showers are expected before more stable weather moves in, setting up a holiday weekend that looks unsettled at first and better later.
That timing matters now because people are deciding whether to commit to outdoor plans for the long weekend. Skarupa’s message was plain: “Labor Day weekend will not be a wash out.” The forecast does not promise a perfect stretch, but it does suggest the worst of the wet weather should give way to drier conditions before the holiday is over.
For anyone watching Wmur for the weekend outlook, the key point is the change in pace. A brief round of showers can still interrupt the start of the holiday, but the forecast leans toward improvement rather than a steady rain that would erase the whole weekend. That difference is what makes this useful: it is not a blanket yes-or-no answer, but a sign that plans may need a little flexibility rather than a full cancellation.
The only wrinkle is that Skarupa did not spell out exactly when the showers end. That leaves the timing gap at the heart of the forecast. Readers know the weekend should recover, but they do not yet know whether the better weather arrives on Saturday, Sunday or later. Until that window narrows, the safest read is simple: expect some wet weather first, then a better shot at dry skies.
