Discussion
High pressure over New England today will move towards the Canadian Maritimes later today and low pressure will form near the Carolina coastline in the overnight hours. This low will move to a position well off the Mid-Atlantic coastline by later tomorrow and then an upper-level feature passes overhead tomorrow night. High pressure returns early next week and it’ll turn noticeably warmer in the Monday through Wednesday time period with 60 degree highs on the table. A slow-moving cold front will then impact the region during the second half of next week with multiple shots of rain as low pressure ripples along the frontal boundary zone.
