WEATHER SUMMARY
–Good morning everybody, we’ve got blobs, slugs, and batches of rain showers moving east into the region this morning
–These are preceding an occluded front that is extended east of low pressure that is located near Erie, PA
–This whole system will track east, and thus a showery day is expected, with rainfall of different intensities a times, as well as some lulls/dry periods
–Patchy fog and/or drizzle is also possible
–Highs will make it into the mid to upper 50s, and lows will drop into the mid to upper 40s as rain quits well before midnight
–Patchy fog is possible very early Thursday morning, but should burn off quickly with a strong sun angle, and decreasing dewpoint temps as drier air moves in, providing a gorgeous pick-of-the-week day with highs in the mid 60s to low 70s
–Some high clouds will be building in Thursday night with lows dropping into the upper 30s to low 40s
–On Friday, a partly sunny day with high and mid-level clouds building into the region will result in highs well into the 60s with light wind expected
–Friday night into Saturday is when a storm will be tracking south of our region, and may swipe northern CT with some Saturday showers
–Otherwise some more southern WMass/CMass areas may see mostly cloudy skies, with partly sunny skies relegated to along and north of the Rt. 2 corridor
–With high pressure north of us and the low south of us, we’ll get onshore easterly and northeasterly flow will which will keep us cool, with highs in the mid to upper 50s
–Lows will drop into the upper 30s under mostly cloudy skies
–Sunday looks like the pick of the weekend with mostly sunny skies and highs in the low 60s and lows in the mid to upper 30s
–Once we reach Monday, we’re turning the corner into deeper Spring, folks!
–Highs Monday and Tuesday will be in the mid 60s to low 70s with plenty of sunshine expected
–Then by mid to late next week we should finally get surging temps with high pressure well east of the Carolinas creating a southerly heat pump that should drive high temps well into the 70s Wednesday, and possibly into the low 80s by late week!

I hope you have a great day, and that good things happen for you!
