Discussion

High pressure to our north dominated the weather scene around here for several days, but it loses control today as an upper-level trough builds into the Northeast US. As a result, there will be some cloudiness later today and the chance of afternoon and evening showers and thunderstorms. The next system of note will be a cold frontal system that crosses the region on Wednesday night likely accompanied by a round of showers and thunderstorms. It turns quite hot ahead of the front on Wednesday with highs well up in the 90’s and then much more comfortable air mass will follow for the late week.
