YOUR MORNING DISCUSSION
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Good morning folks, be sure to get your weather deets up in the Nutshell, but also be sure to oget outside and enjoy the fleeting sunshine and milder temps today as a frontal boundary pushes in from the west.
This will dim out our yellow-white starry orb by later this afternoon, thicken the cloud deck tonight, and serve as the harbinger of a widespread rainfall for our Sunday.
Sunday may start off with scattered showers, but the rain shield should fill in by afternoon and evening, with mostly light to moderate rains of the more gentle pitter-patter type.
It will cooler Sunday as well, so expect a fairly raw day, though I don’t expect much wind.
Showers exit by Monday morning, and a lovely, warming day develops with partly sunny skies (and a spot afternoon shower or t-storm), which tees us up for a killer early-summer type day on Tuesday with sunshine and some folks reaching 80º!
However, the mid to late week period does look unsettled as we have our departing upper ridge setting up over Atlantic Canada and being blocked from further eastward movement due to a system far to the east over the Atlantic Ocean.
Meanwhile, another upper low will press into the Great Lakes and sending pieces of energy and frontal boundaries at us, which could get blocked and held up over our region, producing several periods of showery weather.
I will get it all sorted out as we get closer in terms of more specifics on rain onset/departure etc., but temps should hang in the 60s for highs during this timeframe.
Hope you have a great day and rest of your weekend! Keep going!

“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.”
