Forecast Discussion:
Strong high pressure located over eastern Canada is protecting the region from
a storm off the mid-atlantic coast. Cloudiness associated with this storm
extends as far north as southern New England. In the meantime, high pressure to
the north will continue to strengthen and keep these clouds to the south
through Thursday. By Friday, the high pressure that has kept our skies mostly
clear is forecast to move east, allowing high clouds to intrude from the south.
Mostly cloudy skies will start the weekend on Saturday, but another high
pressure cell will build southeast from Canada helping to bring mostly sunny
conditions back for Sunday.
