Discussion

High pressure has pushed off the Northeast US coastline and low-level SE winds have brought us a deck of clouds and there can be occasional light rain or drizzle to go along with much cooler conditions compared to recent days. A frontal system will approach the area late this week and it'll turn much warmer ahead of it on Thursday afternoon and Friday, and there will be the chance for a couple of showers and thunderstorms. Behind the front, it'll turn cooler this weekend and low pressure will pull out of the south-central US and head towards the Mid-Atlantic region. This system is likely to bring us a cool, rainy period from late Saturday into early Monday.
