Discussion

Low pressure will head towards the northeastern states here at mid-week and it should bring us a decent rainfall from later today into early Thursday and a strong-to-severe thunderstorm can be in the mix. High pressure takes over for the late week and then we’ll have to monitor a coastal storm on Saturday. This system can sideswipe us with some rainfall to begin the weekend or it could just miss us to the south and east....in either case, the weekend will be on the cool side and the cool pattern will continue well into May.
