An Ugly Stretch...
We just finished up a little rain...not much, mostly .1 to .2 inches. Now, drier air is working in and clearing has commenced. This will lead to some sunshine tomorrow and perhaps the last day with any meaningful sunshine for quite some time.
A slow-moving cut-off low in the midlevels is moving through the Upper Midwest...this feature will continue to work south and east over the next several days. In response to it's digging, warmer and more humid air will be boomeranged into the Northeast. At the same time the warmth and humidity are working in, several low pressure areas and frontal boundaries will split off of the parent low back to the west. This creates a potentially very wet pattern for us with waves of rain expected for several straight days...and due to the almost tropical connection, we could have heavy periods of rain in there from time to time. This will be an extended stretch of unsettled weather beginning Thursday morning and lasting through early next week and timing each rain event will be very difficult. But we may actually get lucky and get into a rain-free window to salvage the second half of the weekend.
