Weak high pressure building from the Great Lakes will keep our area dry with slightly cooler temperatures Tuesday into the day on Wednesday.
Finally we will get our first significant rain in about three months Wednesday night into Thursday as a low pressure system moves into our area. Rainfall amounts will be around an inch.
The low pressure will slowly move off the New England coast on Friday. We will still have a chance of instability showers with even some snow flakes well inland.
