THE REWARD FOR ENDURING A WET WEEK WILL BE A DRY AND SEASONABLE
WEEKEND ACROSS THE REGION. SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE AND UPPER LEVEL
RIDGING WILL WORK ITS WAY OVERHEAD BY SATURDAY AFTERNOON AND REMAIN

COVERAGE AND SEVERITY ARE UNCERTAIN AT THIS TIME. A COLD FRONT
ASSOCIATED WITH LOW PRESSURE OVER NOVA SCOTIA WILL APPROACH THE AREA
THURSDAY BEFORE STALLING NEAR US THURSDAY NIGHT. THE EXACT LOCATION
OF THIS FRONT WILL DETERMINE THE DISTRIBUTION OF CONVECTION THURSDAY
