Some improvement to our weather is coming this weekend, but it won’t last that long.
The upper-level low pressure area that has kept us cloudy and cool with occasional showers for the past several days will gradually lift out over the weekend. It will remain nearby on Friday with more clouds, some additional showers and possibly a few thunderstorms. With cold air aloft, any thunderstorms that form could produce some small hail. By Saturday, the upper-level low finally starts to move out, but it will remain close enough to produce a few more showers, especially during the first half of the day. With the low moving out, some of the smoke from the wildfires in Canada maystart to drift back into the region, resulting in hazy conditions, but for now at least, it doesn’t look anywhere near as bad as what New York has had for the past few days. High pressure builds in for Saturday night and Sunday with drier and warmer weather, but we’ll still have the smoke and haze to deal with. By Monday, another low pressure system begins to approach from the west, but it looks like any showers associated with it will hold off until late in the day or at night. This system may bring in a much-needed soaking rain for Tuesday, but we’ll wait until it gets closer for a more definitive look at that.
