Good morning folks, the next 48 hours or so are looking to feature more clouds than sun along with a bout of atmospheric inclemency that will take the form of some scattered Wed. morning showers with a warm front moving in, followed by more showers by this evening, and the potential for more widespread rainfall by Thursday afternoon and night as a coastal low phases with its upper level counterpart by Thursday night.

For today, a warm front pushes through, and will bring with it some scattered lighter showers this morning. Highs will be on the cooler side today, reaching the mid 50s to mid 60s with gusty south winds developing behind the front by this afternoon with sunny breaks possible.

Another round of showers moves in this evening, and we’ll see some scattered showers overnight with lows in the mid to upper 40s.

Thursday holds the potential to be the wettest day overall with a half inch to inch of rain expected at least, with the potential for more by Friday morning.

Highs will again reach the mid 50s to mid 60s under cloudy skies, and as our coastal low tracks south of us and east of the Mid-Atlantic region, steadier and heavier rainfall is expected to push from south to north into our region by afternoon, then tracking northwest, then tracking west off to the ocean like a classic nor’easter.

Yes, we may see a rainy very-late season nor’easter tomorrow for mid May!

An upper low swinging into New England will “capture” it by Thursday night and slow storm movement down, allowing for showers to persist Thursday night and possibly into Friday morning before this whole meteorological morass finally lifts northeast into Atlantic Canada by Friday, with highs reaching the low to mid 60s.

After that, folks, the imprint of the cold season and recent patterns evaporates into late Spring and early Summer, as an upper ridge builds in the eastern U.S. and causes mostly sunny skies to develop Saturday through Tuesday of next week.

In addition, temps are going to soar, reaching the 70s on Saturday, the upper 70s to mid 80s Sunday and Monday, and the mid 80s to low 90s by Tuesday! Summah!

Have a great day!
