Here’s today’s Bottom Line
There is very little “real weather” to talk about through the weekend. A few little details, though, including the nor’easter that continues to meander off the coast. With high pressure to our west, this will lead to what is known as a “tight pressure gradient” over the area … aka breezy conditions.
This low may take on some subtropical characteristics as it strengthens before being quickly “shoved” away by ridging high pressure.
This ridging high will also “reinforce” (a little bit) the somewhat below-normal temps through the weekend.
Otherwise….. expect abundant sunshine by day, clear skies and cool temps at night.
As my mentor, Meteorologist Rich Lupia, would say, “get out and enjoy it!”
