.DISCUSSION...
.KEY MESSAGE 1...
High pressure over the Northeast today will push offshore this
afternoon, providing continued dry conditions, slightly below
normal temperatures (up to 5 degrees below normal) and lower
humidity levels. With the weak pressure gradient the winds will
remain fairly light.

High pressure drifts northeast into the weekend as an upper
level trough from Canada approaches. Dry weather will continue.
Weekend high temperatures will remain in the upper 70s to mid
80s.

.KEY MESSAGE 2...
An amplifying trough sets up over the eastern US Saturday night.
A couple of low pressure systems will ride a frontal boundary
well offshore, with no impact the area Monday morning. Another
shortwave approaches from Ontario on Monday, bringing a frontal
system and possibly a low pressure system through from Monday
night into Wednesday and possibly lingering into Wednesday
night. This frontal system will bring unsettled weather with
showers and thunderstorms expected. Exact impacts and timing are
still uncertain given differences in guidance at that time
range.
