Active in the east, but quiet here

We are going to luck out here over the next few days, despite an active weather pattern, conditions in New England should be mainly dry.

Today:  Sunny this morning then some clouds in the afternoon, especially south, highs 50-55 south, in the low 40s north.

Tonight:  Chance of a few showers south, otherwise partly cloudy, lows in low 30s south, teens north.

Tomorrow:  Partly to mostly sunny, highs in the upper 40s south, low 40s north.

Tomorrow night:  Mainly clear, lows 30-35 south, lows in the low 20s.

Friday:  Mix of clouds and sun, highs near 50 south, upper 40s north.

Discussion:

So we're going to experience a few close calls over the next few days, but most of the region will be spared.  There is a weak low pressure system racing through the Great Lakes this morning.  Looking at the radar and the current motion of the system, it looks like this will pass to the south of New England.  Locations along the south coast may deal with some rain drops this evening into the early overnight, but nothing substantial.

Tomorrow should be a pleasant day, though a few degrees cooler.  The lack of a dominant westerly wind will allow for a seabreeze to develop that will keep the majority of New England a bit on the cool side.  This will develop because high pressure is taking hold of the region and our winds will be light.  This high pressure system will come in handy on Friday. 
As I have mentioned over the last couple of days, I was concerned about a storm on Friday.  The development of this high pressure system is going to keep this at bay now.  It will be forced south of New England and our weather again, aside from some clouds, will be quiet.

As we look into the weekend, I'm shading toward the optimistic right now.  Saturday looks like there won't be any problems, but the question mark is on Sunday.  Regardless, Sunday is going to the warmer of the two days, but it could also come with some rain.  For now, I'm not going to mention rain as I think the storm will hold off until Monday morning, or pass to our north.  One model tries to bring precipitation in for Sunday afternoon, but this model hasn't been all that reliable recently.

Thanks for reading!
