DISCUSSION
KEY MESSAGE 1 DESCRIPTION...
High pressure has settled south of New England, and will slowly drift off the Eastern Seaboard today. This brings a moderating trend on southwesterly flow, with highs warming into the mid 60s in many spots today. Temps warm further on Monday, with highs pushing into the upper 60s, and even low 70s in a few spots.
A weak cold front crosses through during the day on Monday, bringing only the chance for a few showers across the north. Otherwise, the front merely serves to usher in the next ridge of high pressure, which brings a cooler Canadian airmass with it. Highs fall back into the 40s and 50s for Tuesday and Wednesday, but then moderate back into the 60s again for late in the week as the high moves offshore.
The next front likely crosses on Friday, and has the chance to bring a few showers to more of the area, but nothing of significance. Behind this front, the next ridge of high pressure arrives just in time for next weekend.
AVIATION /02Z SUNDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/
Through 06z Monday: VFR is expected through Sunday night with light and variable winds. A little valley fog is possible at LEB around sunrise this morning and light LLWS is possible towards the US/CAN border later Sunday night.
Outlook...
Monday-Thursday...Mainly VFR. A mostly dry cold front crosses late Monday bringing period of steady NW winds into Tuesday. Otherwise winds likely will be light and variable again late Tuesday through Thursday.
MARINE
High pressure provides quiet conditions over the waters through Sunday. A cold front crosses late Monday with northerly winds in its wake bringing the next chance for SCA conditions Monday night into Tuesday. High pressure rebuilds over the Northeast for the middle and later portions of the week.
GYX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES
