Discussion
Strong high pressure draped across southeastern Canada will continue to keep a cool, moist ocean flow of air in place for the region as we close out the work week. As a result, temperatures will remain on the cool side today and there can be some more light rain or drizzle at times. By tomorrow, this area of high pressure will push off the Canadian east coast and our low-level winds will shift to more of a south-to-southwest direction. This will allow us to become warmer on Saturday despite some clouds and perhaps make it to the lower 80’s by Sunday afternoon. Another cold front will arrive here on Sunday night – perhaps with some light rain shower activity – and then another strong high pressure system will expand eastward from the Upper Midwest and we’ll turn cool again for the first half of the new work week.
