KEY MESSAGES

1. High pressure remains in control the weather pattern through next week bringing continued dry conditions and a slight warming trend into Monday.

DISCUSSION

KEY MESSAGE 1 DESCRIPTION...

High pressure gradually shifts south of New England through the day today following a cool start to the day. As the high continues to move southward, a moderating southwest flow brings warmer temps by the end of the weekend. Temps rebound back into the 60s for Sunday and Monday, with some low 70s also possible on Monday.

A weak front passes through on Monday with just a few sprinkles across the north. Behind the front, a new high pressure center arrives with a cooler airmass. Highs return to the 40s and 50s for Tuesday and Wednesday, before beginning to rebound back into the 60s for the end of the week as the high moves offshore. Another weak front is possible by the end of the week, but looks mostly dry at this point.

AVIATION /12Z SATURDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/

Through 12z Sunday: VFR prevails. Winds primarily light and variable today and this evening. A weak sea breeze could develop along the coast mid afternoon, giving a more steady onshore direction to PWM/PSM.

Outlook...

Sunday-Thursday...VFR prevails under high pressure. This should lead to light diurnal wind patterns.

MARINE

Seas subside through the morning as the remnants of Josephine move through the Canadian Maritimes. High pressure provides quiet conditions over the waters through the weekend. 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 by the middle of next week.
