.DISCUSSION...
KEY MESSAGE 1...High pressure will be in control through Wednesday
night. A low pressure system then drags a cold front through the
area Thursday night into Friday. This cold front is then followed by
below normal temperatures this weekend.

High pressure builds overhead tonight. For Wednesday, the high
pressure system starts to move offshore and this continues into
tomorrow night. This high pressure system will lead to tranquil
weather conditions through Wednesday. We see plenty of sunshine
today before more clouds arrive tonight and Wednesday. After a
seasonably chilly day today, we see a gradual warming trend
through Thursday. By Thursday, temperatures reach above normal
as we continue to see warm air filter in.

A low pressure system that originates near the Midwest moves
northeast into Canada. This low pressure system drags a cold
front through the region Thursday night through Friday. Ahead of
this cold front, rain develops Thursday night and continues
through much of Friday with the passage of this cold front.
Rainfall will mostly be on the order of 0.25-0.5".

Once the cold front exits the region, we see cold air advection
filter in through the day Friday with temperatures looking to
decrease through the day. This is followed by cooler conditions for
this weekend. Highs will only be in the 40s on Saturday before
warming back up closer to normal on Sunday. Dry this weekend as
another high pressure system builds into the region.
