DISCUSSION

KEY MESSAGE 1...Chance for rain showers by late next week, though little to no drought improvement anticipated.

KEY MESSAGE 1 DESCRIPTION... A low pressure system to the far north moves eastward, pushing a front through New England late next week. Ensemble models have slowed the progression of the front with more members leaning towards Thursday evening and Thursday night for rain. Upper air model soundings indicate a large dry airmass ahead of the front. This coupled with the decreasing intensity of the front, rain showers look to be minimal, especially for the north. Cannot rule out some scattered rain showers across the south.
