Discussion
Low pressure in the upper part of the atmosphere is shifting off the coast of the Northeast US today and this should reduce chances here for afternoon showers and thunderstorms. There will be plenty of sun today and afternoon temperatures should peak near the 90 degree mark. It’ll get hotter on Friday with temperatures likely to climb into the lower 90’s and there is the chance for afternoon/evening shower and thunderstorm activity as a back door cool front approaches the area. The passage of the back door cool front should knock off several degrees for the weekend highs with temperatures likely peaking in the low-to-mid 80's on both days. There should be some sunshine on both weekend days, but an afternoon or evening shower or thunderstorm cannot be ruled out on either Saturday or Sunday.
