A Wet Thursday...

It feels like we are on borrowed time...after all we have been calling for showers to get to us for over a week now and for the most part we haven't seen any.  That changes tomorrow as the upper level storm system over the Great Lakes that has been nearly stationary for days, finally starts to move east.  This will in essence, squeeze moisture into New England.  There aren't very many organized areas of rain but instead clusters of showers, convective in nature, so some heavier downpours can be expected too.  In fact, upstream from us, these heavy showers have induced some poor drainage flooding so it wouldn't surprise me to a few issues on the road later tomorrow with standing water.

The front will pass through Thursday evening and drier air will work in for Friday...with the upper level cold pool still to our west warmer air will surge north on deep layer southerly flow leading to highs close to 80 again in a few spots on Friday.  But Summery conditions will retreat again over the weekend as the cold pool of air swirls over us.  This will lead to an unstable airmass which promotes scattered showers and the chillier air aloft will translate to colder surface temps as well...60s on Saturday and 55-60 on Sunday.  I don't see either day over the weekend as a washout but certainly showery times, especially for Saturday.
