Discussion              

A strong cool front passed through the region last night and today will become breezy and more comfortable with lowering humidity levels.  A strong high pressure system that had its origins up in Canada will build eastward over the next few days and end up centered over New England by week’s end. This same high pressure system will push off the eastern seaboard this weekend and a southwesterly flow of air will develop on its back side.
