Discussion
High pressure has pushed offshore and this positioning will open the door for tropical moisture to ride up along the eastern seaboard over the next 24 hours or so. Today’s weather will be somewhat similar to yesterday with early morning fog and clouds and afternoon highs not far from 80 degrees. Enhanced moisture from the southeastern states will arrive in the area towards morning and this air mass will raise the chances for occasional light rain or drizzle on Thursday and showers and thunderstorms on Friday. A strong cool front will arrive by early in the weekend and a shower threat is possible early Saturday, but much of the weekend could turn out to be dry and cool. In fact, the air mass arriving this weekend will be very cool for this time of year and the month of June could start off on quite a chilly note early Monday, June 1. A couple of other notes, the SpaceX rocket launch is still on for later today scheduled to lift off at 4:33 PM from Cape Canaveral in Florida although there will be scattered showers and storms to monitor. Finally, signs are pretty favorable for a tropical storm/hurricane threat later next week in the Gulf of Mexico.
