.DISCUSSION...
High pressure will remain centered over Quebec through tonight, with
a ridge extending back towards the eastern Great Lakes providing
another day of dry and warm weather. A mid level disturbance will
then cross the area Saturday through early Sunday morning, bringing
showers and a few thunderstorms with uneven coverage of rain. A
narrow ridge of high pressure will bring a brief return to dry
weather for much of Sunday and Sunday night. A slow moving area of
low pressure will then bring several days of rain showers starting
Monday and lasting much of next week.
