Discussion
Conditions will remain unsettled around here today with a stiff wind and some clouds as strong low pressure spins southwestward over the western Atlantic Ocean. This low pressure system will finally make a permanent exit early this weekend and begin to move out over the open waters of the North Atlantic. As a result, it’ll become more settled around here on Saturday and Sunday and a warming trend will begin with some sunshine likely on both days. It’ll turn out to be quite a decent day on Monday with plenty of sunshine and quite mild conditions, but showers are likely to return to the area on Tuesday night and Wednesday.
