Discussion              

A “clipper-type” system will push into northern New England today and high pressure will build into the Mid-Atlantic region and take control of our weather into mid-week.  Winds will become rather strong from a W-NW direction and temperatures will be confined to the mid-to-upper 40’s for afternoon highs. It remains quite chilly on Tuesday, but then becomes noticeably milder on Wednesday and Thursday ahead of the next frontal system.  Showers are possible late in the day on Thursday with the arrival of that next cold front and its passage will usher in colder air for the end of the week.
