DISCUSSION

KEY MESSAGE 1...Below normal temperatures expected through the end of the week before warming for the weekend.

KEY MESSAGE 1 DESCRIPTION... Per the previous discussion: Below normal temperatures continue through Wednesday. High temps will be hard- pressed to climb into the 50s Thursday and Friday with temps likely to remain in the 40s with upper low remaining over the Maritimes. Upper low will begin to head east into the North Atlantic over the weekend as upper ridge builds closer to the area. As a result temps will begin to moderate through the weekend with highs reaching into the 50s this weekend, possibly into the 60s early next week. Most of the storm systems will pass to our south through the end of the period.
