 FRIDAY: A stationary front is draped over the region and expected to hang around all day. Weak disturbances pass along the boundary, bringing the risk of showers and storms through the evening. Where the sun comes out for a time, rain and possible storm producers are likely to pop up. Most areas escape with a dry day, but all areas run the risk of getting a shower.  FRIDAY NIGHT / SATURDAY: Low pressure over the Great Lakes heads for the St. Lawrence River Valley and drags a cold front into the region. Shower coverage is expected to increase in the overnight hours into Saturday morning for the north and mountains. Southern areas appear to dodge showers during the morning but see the risk of rainfall and the potential for a storm in the afternoon. The Weather Prediction Center has the entire state under marginal risk for locally heavy rain, given the amount of moisture available. Dew points could reach “weather-you-can-wear” status by Saturday afternoon for southern areas and reach the low to mid-70s. Fog will be the story along the coast, along with areas of drizzle, given the air saturation.  SATURDAY NIGHT / SUNDAY: The frontal boundary moves through the region overnight, with showers and a possible rumble. An early morning shower is possible over southern areas. Eastern areas wake up to rainfall that continues through midday before the faucet shuts off. The west and the north deal with off-and-on showers through most of the day, ending Sunday evening. Dew points drop into the 60s, which will take a bit of the edge off the humidity.
EXTENDED OUTLOOK: Monday appears to be a dry day at this point. Showers are possible over the west and north on Tuesday, and the trend is there for a more unsettled pattern as the week continues. Dew points remain juiced in the 60s to low 70s, with a few short breaks possible for the north at times. Have a great day, and thank you for your readership and financial support! - Mike |
