>>> MORNING DISCUSSION <<< Good morning everybody, I've been working hard during my down time to manifest these amazing pair of days we have coming up, so I hope you enjoy them! Large northeast U.S. high pressure is going to slowly drift east through the region over the next couple of days and provide beautiful, exceedingly dry, and calm weather conditions. Expect mostly sunny skies today and tomorrow, with mostly clear nights, highs in the 70s, and lows in the upper 40s tonight, and low 50s or so tomorrow night. By Thursday, we should squeeze out a third day in a row of dry conditions, though I can't rule out a shower for the late afternoon into early evening timeframe. Highs will reach the 75-80º range. By Thursday evening clouds should be building in as a warm front approaches and spreads some showers into our region overnight, and possibly a thunderstorm. Friday and Friday night looks quite wet with periods of showers and thunderstorms that move through in the pre-cold-frontal environment, and also with the cold frontal passage Friday night. Highs will reach the mid to upper 70s with lows either side of 60º. After an unsettled and much more humid Friday, we should hopefully clear and dry out for the weekend with high pressure moving back into the region with warm temps and highs in the low 80s, which may last into early next week! We have definitely turned a corner, and entered a new pattern, finally! Enjoy the day! >>> BE KIND <<< “Hello babies. Welcome to Earth. It's hot in the summer and cold in the winter. It's round and wet and crowded. On the outside, babies, you've got a hundred years here. There's only one rule that I know of, babies: Goddamn it, you've got to be kind.” --Kurt Vonnegut
