Stubborn Weather Pattern Intact
The Bermuda-Azores Highs continues to block areas of low pressure just to our west. Hence, we are caught in between a high and several low pressure centers hovering around our friends and families in our Nation's Heartland.
The stationary front has now tracked to our north which positions us within the 'warm sector'. A warm southerly breeze will warm most backyards today. Highs for the most part will be in the middle 70s. However, the S.Coast/Cape/Islands will only reach highs in the upper 50s to middle 60s due to the onshore flow. Ocean enhanced showers may occur in those areas this afternoon as well. The majority of the area will start off murky and end up partly cloudy to partly sunny.
The stagnant pattern breaks once a cold/occluded front passes by late Thursday evening into early Thursday night. This will be the culprit for some downpours and rumbles of thunder PM Thursday. Highs once again will be warm in the lower to middle 70s...50 and 60s for the S.Coast/Cape/Islands.
Friday will be slightly cooler in the 60s and less humid. A 500mb vort will be responsible for diurnal cloud cover.
The weekend is still lookin' good for heading to the park, doing some yardwork, taking a leisurely stroll, or taking a motorcycle ride.
