DonâÂÂt be alarmed at that large glowing disk in the sky.

âÂÂIâÂÂm no expert in astronomy, but I do believe that is the sun,â said Matt Makens, 6News meteorologist. âÂÂAt least thatâÂÂs what I learned in school.âÂÂ

The Lawrence area, which has been covered by clouds since Tuesday, is finally getting some sunshine and warmer temperatures.

âÂÂWeâÂÂll see it through the weekend,â Makens said.

FridayâÂÂs forecast calls for clear skies for the rest of the day, with highs reaching 50, he said. The overnight low will be 23, with starry skies.

Saturday will be warm, with a high of 56. And Sunday will be even warmer, with temperatures in the low to mid 60s, he said.

âÂÂSo itâÂÂs good for shoping the outdoor shops of Mass. Street,â he said.

The extended forecast calls for more clouds on Monday and Wednesday, he said.will return during the first part of next week, with a chance of rain coming on Wednesday, he said.
