Discussion

Low pressure will pull away from the east coast this morning and high pressure will build in from the north and bring us improving weather, but just for a relatively short period of time. That same high pressure system will push off the coast early Friday opening the door for more moisture to arrive in the region in the form of scattered showers and thunderstorms which will be take place from later tomorrow into Saturday. A cool front will then arrive late Sunday perhaps accompanied by a few additional late day or nighttime showers and thunderstorms. High pressure situated to our north is likely to result in very nice weather around here in the Monday-to-Wednesday time period - a great time to take a few days off.
