Discussion

A frontal system has stalled just south of here at the same time high pressure is building into New England. While today should stay on the dry side, the threat for showers and thunderstorms will return on Saturday and continue right into early next week as the frontal system hangs around the region. The clouds will help to create cooler conditions this weekend with high temperatures on both weekend days not far from 70 degrees which is below normal for this time of year. Winds will become southwesterly by Tuesday and this change will usher in a warm and more humid air mass by the middle of next week.
