DISCUSSION
KEY MESSAGE 1...Unseasonably cool through Friday night then warming temperatures this weekend into early next week. Any significant storm systems stay well south of the region.
KEY MESSAGE 1 DESCRIPTION... A northerly flow will result in below normal temperatures through Friday night. A 500mb short wave rotates around across the Canadian Maritimes. This will result in unsettled weather with isolated showers especially closer to New Brunswick on Friday. It will be cold enough for some snow to mix in across the north this morning. The 500mb low meanders to our east across Canadian Maritimes through Friday with continued northerly flow. By Saturday, temperatures moderate, becoming near normal as an upper level low exits the area Friday night and high pressure settles in for the weekend. Upper level ridging builds in early next week which should keep any storms systems south of the region and favor seasonable temperatures. High temperatures in the 50s to near 60F with lows in the upper 30s to near 40F.
