Ugly now, better for the weekend

A cold front will push through New England today bringing rain and then chilly air for tomorrow.

Today:  Cloudy, showers likely with the chance of a few thunderstorms, highs near 60 south, low 50s north.

Tonight:  Mostly cloudy a few showers still possible, lows in the upper 30s to low 40s.

Tomorrow:  More clouds than sun, showers possible, cooler, highs in the low 50s south, upper 40s north.

Tomorrow night:  Partial clearing, lows in the low 40s south, 30s north.

Friday:  Partly sunny, maybe a few showers in Northern New England, highs in the low 60s south, 50s north.

Discussion:

A cold front with slowly sweep through New England today.  This should provide just about everyone with some rain at some point today.  There could also be a few embedded thunderstorms along the cold front today, none are expected to reach severe levels.  The front will clear the region late tonight, but unfortunately that doesn't mean we are done with the unsettled weather.  The low pressure system associated with the cold front will become stationary to the northeast of New England over the Canadian Maritimes.  This will hold cooler air in the region and also will keep the atmosphere unsettled enough for more showers.  It won't be a steady all day rain, but will be more scattered in nature.

Friday that stalled low will begin to move out into the North Atlantic and this will help improve our weather here in New England.  Southern and most of Central New England will have a pleasant day on Friday with some sun and seasonable temperatures.  Northern areas may still be under the influence of that departing low so a few isolated showers may develop.

This weekend looks generally nice.  A low pressure system will be passing south of New England which is causing a bit of uncertainty in the outlook.  As it stands now, we should stay mostly dry this weekend with at or above normal temperatures.  As a matter of fact, if we stay dry this weekend, our next real threat of wet weather won't be until late next week.
