Cool and Breezy Start to the Weekend

As we enter the last weekend of the official summer season, conditions will feel more like fall. The current overall weather pattern is typical for fall. Strong high pressure will continue to dominate the northeast over the next several days. This is causing the low level winds to become northeasterly across the Northeast and mid-Atlantic. This is bringing a wedge of cooler air into the region with highs well below average in the low 70s. The current ocean water temperature is 71 degrees so air temps will hover around that number for the next 24 hours.

The high over New England will break down for Sunday, relaxing the winds and warming the temperatures up. Another strong high will situate itself again over New England on Tuesday allowing for another wedge of cooler air to move back into the region with highs below average next week.
