Discussion
High pressure that developed over southeastern Canada last week has shifted offshore and it will tend to weaken and push farther away by mid-week. In addition, a trough of low pressure looks to become established by mid-week and the result will be a more unsettled weather pattern and a returning chance of showers and thunderstorms. Later in the week, a weak cold front will approach the region - perhaps with another chance of showers and thunderstorms on Thursday - and then dry, very warm weather should return for Friday and Saturday.
