Mild today, cooler for the weekend

Enjoy the beautiful weather we are having today as cooler conditions are on their way for this weekend.

Today:  Partly to mostly sunny, windy at times, highs mid and upper 60s south, 50s north.

Tonight:  Partly cloudy, breezy, lows in the upper 20s and low 30s south, teens and low 20s north.

Tomorrow:  A few clouds in the morning then sunshine, breezy, highs in the low 40s south, mid 30s north.

Tomorrow night:  Clear, chilly, lows in the low to mid 20s south, single digits and teens north.

Sunday:  Lots of sunshine, highs in the 40s south, upper 30s north.

Discussion:

The front that is passing through New England today barely has any clouds associated with it, let alone precipitation.  Behind this front and a secondary front is much cooler air and the winds that will pick up in speed today will be ushering this cooler air in.  We will probably hit our daytime highs pretty early today and then temperatures will remain steady or slowly drop off late in the afternoon.  Once the secondary front passes through tonight and early tomorrow morning high pressure will build in.  This will supply a good deal of sunshine for this weekend.  The bright sunshine should help to offset some of the cooler air in the region, during the daylight hours at least.

Dry weather will persist through the daylight hours on Monday.  Our next storm system looks to be scheduled to arrive on Monday night or Tuesday morning.  As it stands right now, looks like mainly a rain make for most of New England, though I do expect some wintry precipitation across northern sections.  Time will tell to see when the storm arrives and how far south that wintry precipitation makes it.

Beyond early next week, it should be relatively dry, but remaining cool.  I don't see another stretch of days like we had yesterday and today for the next week and a half unfortunately.

That's all for now, thanks for reading!
