Synopsis:
High pressure will continue to build over the Northeast through today. This will keep our area dry. There will be clouds from time to time from a Southern low trying to nudge North. Temperatures will be below the seasonable average of the lower 80s.
Summer arrives today at 10:58AM EDT. The longest amount of daylight of the year occurs today. This is also when the sun’s direct are the farthest North. The rays reach the Tropic of Cancer- 23.5º N latitude.
Moisture from a weak low over the Southern Appalachians will move North tonight and Thursday. Showers or even a period of rain is expected Thursday. The threat of showers (and an afternoon thunderstorm) will stick around Friday but it won’t be steady or widespread.
The high will shift off the coast on the weekend. This will result in a Southerly flow of humid air. A mix of sun and clouds is expected with a chance of a few showers or storms both days. It will not be a washout.
Stay tuned.
