Nantucket, Massachusetts
Weekend air in Nantucket sits near 74°F / 67°F, plus a workable rain total around 0.38 in — enough to decide whether the trip is on.
Use the outlook as the itinerary filter: plan the outdoor pieces when 74°F feels right, and keep a café backup if clouds show up.
If the numbers still look good by Friday, lock the plan around 74°F — not a vague “nice weather somewhere.”
