With the extended dry spell that we’ve had this past week or so, we’ll be moving towards a slightly wetter pattern for the next several days. As mentioned yesterday, with the Canadian ridge putting us between two troughs, we’ll be stuck with scattered rain chances until the weekend.
Tropical Depression Arlene has dissipated and will soon move into the Atlantic. The New England low pressure zone is beginning to strengthen, however with the block forming in Canada, the low has nowhere to go and will begin to absorb the depression and form another low near the mid-Atlantic. With it, a high pressure will form near Florida and bring in more moisture to increase rain chances from Monday to Thursday. Temperatures will reach the low to mid-90s and the humidity will be up further due to the southerly influence.
As the ridge begins to break down, the New England low will gain some traction and allow the low further South to gain some dynamic forcing. With this, Thursday will have a higher chance of rain as the front moves just past into the Atlantic. The front will subside a bit of the moisture for Friday and Saturday before another front begins to push it out and bring in rain chances again. For the early part of the weekend, temperatures will be in the upper 80s to low 90s.
