On the Cusp of a Warm Up...

It was a beautiful day and plenty warm enough in my opinion but near the coast you could definitely feel a chill due to a weak seabreeze.  We will see similar conditions tomorrow but some high cloudiness will be at least over our southern horizon creating a milky sky or some filtered sunshine as a storm that will be delivering rain to the Mid-Atlantic will slide south of us.  It's departure means a warm up for us as ridging will commence and send a ribbon of warmth and mugginess up the Eastern Seaboard for a few days.

Saturday will end up bright and sunny with highs between 60-64...a gem of a day.  Sunday will be tainted by some cloudiness as a warmfront approaches from the south.  It may touch off a late day shower or two but the air will feel warm due to increasing humidity...highs 65-70.  By Monday indications are that we will be in the warm sector and while we may not be able to maximize temps we will do just fine especially west of Boston.  The problem with going for 80s regionwide on Monday will be with the wind direction...it will be more south than west and that incorporates cooler maritime air from south of New England.  This means that places east of the I95 corridor will likely stay in the 50s/60s/70s...Cape/SE Mass/ Boston.  But, it will be close and I'm not ready to throw in the towel on a record high for Boston just yet (78 1955).  The coldfront will work through on Tuesday with showers and cooler but not cold temps for the middle of next week.
