So Far So Good...

Day one of Summer did not disappoint but it's day three and four that we have to worry about.  High pressure is now sliding offshore and will gradually relinquish control to an approaching frontal boundary and unsettled weather.  Ridging over the Maritimes will bottle up the atmosphere locking in moisture and showers for several days.  The high will be close enough to us tomorrow to keep the showers at bay until the evening but overrunning rain will come rushing in and soak the ground early tomorrow night.  The warmfront will get hung up just to our south...this means cloudy, cool and wet conditions.  Is it going to rain the whole time, no, but with lots of low-level moisture when we are rain-free we probably won't be drizzle or mist free...a crummy end to the work week.

The upper level trough axis will be right over New England on Saturday so all warm air advection rains will be over but the cool pool of air aloft will spark showers and thunderstorms in the afternoon after some midday heating.  By Sunday the trough is lifting out and ridging aloft will commence delivering drier and warmer air for the end of the weekend and early next week.
