Weekend forecast

Another quiet and cool day across New England today, similar story for this weekend.

Today:  Plenty of sunshine, breezy, highs around 70 south, low 60s north.

Tonight:  Clear, chilly, lows in the mid and upper 40s to low 50s south, mid 30s north.

Tomorrow:  Mainly sunny, highs in the low 70s south(away from the coast), upper 60s north and along the coast.

Tomorrow night:  Partly cloudy, lows around 50 south, upper 30s north.

Sunday:  Limited sunshine, slight chance of a few showers, highs in the upper 60s to near 70.

Discussion:

We'll have a great finish to the work week here in New England.  A good deal of sun today and slightly below normal temperatures.  We are dealing with an upper level low and an area of high pressure at the surface currently.  As we head into the weekend the surface high will shift a bit to the east and this will allow for a disturbance to dive to the west of the New England on Sunday.

Until that disturbance arrives however, we'll enjoy sunshine and pleasant, but a bit cool temperatures.  Tonight and tomorrow morning will be quite chilly, especially in sheltered locations across the interior.  Some places may see some frost in the morning.  Temperatures will warm up quickly however once the sun comes up though.

The previously mentioned disturbance will pass just to the west of New England on Sunday and will be more of a problem for Upstate NY than it will for us.  Regardless, a few showers or sprinkles can't be ruled though, though I believe it will be generally dry.

Early next week the upper level low will push off to the east and will be replace by an upper level ridge.  It looks like a few pockets of energy will slide over the top of this ridge and could provide a few showers and thunderstorms during the first half of next week and temperatures should be warmer than what we will have this weekend.

Thanks for reading!
