DISCUSSION

KEY MESSAGE 1...Unseasonably cool through Friday then moderating temperatures expected to begin over the weekend. Showers expected tonight through Thursday but any significant storm systems move south of the region.

KEY MESSAGE 1 DESCRIPTION... Unseasonably cool weather expected tonight through Thursday with showery weather expected. Rainfall amounts are expected to be generally less than one quarter on an inch through Thursday. After a cool day on Friday with temps remaining in the 40s due to persistent upr low over the Canadian Maritimes temps will begin to moderate on Saturday as low gets shoved east. Significant storm systems will remain south of the region through the weekend though some operational runs indicating fairly compact s/wv moving into the area Sunday night into Monday morning. This would likely be enough to keep the temperatures below normal early next week.
