Good morning everyone!

AVERAGE HIGH: 56 AVERAGE LOW: 37
RECORD HIGH: 70 – 2010 RECORD LOW: 26 – 2021
YESTERDAY’S HIGH: 52 LOW: 45 PRECIPITATION: .04″
Note: On this date in 2018 we received 6.5 inches of snow!
A low pressure moving along a stationary front to our south will give us cloudy skies with rain developing this morning and continuing through tonight. With the clouds and onshore winds, high temperatures will mainly be in the 40s. Rainfall amounts of 1″ expected through tonight.
An even stronger coastal low pressure will develop and move up the coast giving us more rain that may be heavy at times. Winds will be stronger with gusts to above 35 mph possible from the east. Highs again will only be in the 40s. Another 1 1/2″ of rain expected.
Rain is still likely on Thursday as the coastal low moves off the New England coast and some wrap around moisture in our area, however the higher elevations to our north and west may have some snow.
Mainly dry weather Friday through next Monday with a slow moderation in temperatures. The forecast still looks mostly sunny for the solar eclipse on Monday afternoon.
