Discussion

High pressure centered over southeastern Canada will continue to have an influence on the weather around here for another few days. Given the position of the high, there will be a consistent low-level flow of air from the ocean (i.e., east-to-northeast winds) and this will keep temperatures in check for the next few days. This high shifts offshore over the weekend and it’ll turn a bit warmer and more humid, but no intense heat is in sight. There will be some tropical moisture sitting just off the coast, but odds favor it staying out there and not making a move to the north and west.
