WEATHER BLOG: Sun Returns

High pressure over the Great Lakes and New England will work against an upper level low over the Southeast, along with Hurricane Joaquin. Joaquin is headed out to Bermuda, luckily for the United States coastline. Conditions won't be great across the I-95 today but they will improve, with most locations drying out. Rain will be limited in the northeast south of the Mason-Dixon line today, and even there it will be just a drizzle, with maybe a batch or two of light rain at the worst. It will certainly be the better half of the weekend.

Tomorrow should see high pressure to the north strengthening, with Joaquin and the upper level low in the southeast sliding eastward. This should bring a much nicer day along the I-95 corridor, although the tight pressure gradient will keep things rather brisk. Temperatures will at least continue climbing during the days, but overnight low's will remain chilly through at least Monday night.

Clearing will continue heading into the middle of the week and winds will relax by Tuesday, leading to some beautiful weather. Temperatures will get back warmer Tuesday on through the end of the week. The rain won't return until late Friday afternoon into Friday night, with a low shifting across southern Canada to our north, bringing a cold front across the region. A quick shot of rain will accompany the front. Things should be largely settled down by Saturday and Sunday in terms of precipitation, but as usual the trough will sag behind the front a bit and lead to clouds and at least the threat for a shower or two, especially on Saturday.
