DISCUSSION

KEY MESSAGE 1...Warm temperatures and breezy winds Sunday before the next rain chances early next week.

KEY MESSAGE 1 DESCRIPTION... High pressure builds over the region Saturday and moves off the coast to our south Sunday. Breezy winds out of the southwest will develop between the high and the weakened remnants of Hurricane Isaias as it moves into the Ohio valley Saturday night into Sunday. These winds will help to funnel warmer temperatures (upper 60s) into the area for Sunday and Monday, potentially 10 degrees above average for this time of year. As the system moves off the southern New England coast, it could bring a chance of showers for the Downeast coast Sunday night into Monday. Rain chances could decrease if the system stays further south, though there is still a good amount of uncertainty at this time. A separate low pressure develops over the Great Lakes Monday night as a trough deepens behind the departing tropical remnants. This will bring a chance of rain early mid next week.
