Good news everyone!

Quiet weather for the next few days with mild temperatures for the weekend!

Today:  Mostly sunny, highs in the upper 40s and low 50s south, upper 40s north.

Tonight:  Clear, cool, lows 30-35 south, teens north.

Tomorrow:  Partly to mostly sunny, more cloudiness across Southern New England, highs 50-55 south, 45-50 north.

Tomorrow night:  Partly cloudy, lows in the mid 30s south, 20s north.

Saturday:  Partly sunny, mild, highs near 60 south, 50s north.

Discussion:

Even though our weather is going to stay quiet here in New England, doesn't mean our spring weather has quieted down completely.  We are going to experience a close miss tomorrow with a storm system diving just south of New England.  For today however, high pressure is in control.  I expect temperatures to be a few degrees cooler than yesterday, mainly due to the lack of defined wind field.  This will allow a sea breeze to set up that should push pretty far inland.  This high pressure system that is in control will help to force an approach low pressure system to our south tomorrow, very similar to the low that passed to our south last night.

After the disturbance passes through tomorrow, the high pressure system will shift off shore and this will turn our winds around to a southwesterly direction.  With that, our warm up will commence.  Saturday and Sunday look to be beautiful days here in New England with a good deal of sunshine and above normal temperatures.  60s are a good bet for southern areas on Saturday and I wouldn't be surprised to see a few 70s on Sunday.  It'll be a bit cooler across Northern New England mainly due to the lingering snow pack.

This warm up comes with a downside however.  Early next week will we have some rain to deal with across New England, although I don't see a major cool down after the passage of this storm.  Actually it looks like our temperatures will be at or above normal for the next week and a half!

Thanks for reading!
