Quiet through Saturday

High pressure is in position for next couple of days then a quick shot of rain overnight on Saturday.

Today:  Plenty of sunshine, highs in the low 60s south, 50s north.

Tonight:  Clear, lows in the 30s south, teens and 20s north.

Tomorrow:  Mainly sunny, a bit cooler, highs 45-50 south, low 40s north.

Tomorrow night:  A few clouds late, lows in the 30s south, teens north.

Saturday:  Some early sunshine, then increasing clouds, rain should hold off until the evening or overnight hours, highs in the mid and upper 40s for both north and south.

Discussion:

We have high pressure in control and this will remain the case into the day on Saturday.  Not too much to be concerned with until then.  Today will be the nicest of the next 3 with a good amount of sun and mild temperatures.  Cooler air will start to build in tonight and this will hold temperatures down for Friday and Saturday.  Also, I expect a sea breeze to develop tomorrow, which will keep coastal locations even cooler.

Our next unsettled weather maker will arrive late in the day on Saturday.  A low pressure system will race through the Great Lakes, passing to the north and west of New England.  This should bring a round of moderate to possibly heavy rain on Saturday night into early Sunday.  There maybe a few thunderstorms embedded in the heavier downpours.  Fortunately it looks like this system is moving pretty quickly, so we might get some sun before the day is done on Sunday.

Looking out to next week, I'm not encouraged.  It looks damp and cool, but that is usually what we have to deal with here in New England.  Time will tell.

Thanks for reading!
