YOUR MORNING DISCUSSION
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Good morning everybody, again there isn’t too much to discuss in what is transitioning into a boring but peaceful and seasonable weather pattern.
It’s not related to the weather, but remember to turn your analog clocks back an hour before bed tomorrow night!
As for our weather, we’re dominated by high pressure to our south which will help lift milder but seasonable temps up and into New England with plenty of 50s for highs to go around over the coming days.
Sunday will be a Sun Day, whereas Saturday will be more Cloud Day, with a few showers possible Saturday night.
Highs today reach the upper 40s to mid 50s, and then more firmly in the 50s for the weekend.
After a dry Monday with highs in the 50s, we will see a cold front drag more showers into and through the region Monday night into Tuesday, which is followed by a seasonable and partly sunny Wednesday with highs in the 50s.
Wednesday night into Thursday looks interesting, in that a west-east tracking storm will eject out of the Ohio Valley and make a beeline for New England.
It’s night time arrival could mean we start off as a snow or sleet into the early Thursday morning timeframe before changing to rain prior to the storm’s exit.
It does not look like a big storm at all, but that’s the atmospheric action for today, folks!
Remember, if you have a meal, a friend, a partner, a good book, music you dig, or a roof over your head, you have good fortune in your life, which is something worth recognizing and appreciating.
Have a great day!

“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.”
