The intense storm that gave us the strong winds yesterday is moving slowly northeast from the Gulf of Maine and is slowly weakening as high pressure builds from the northern plain states. Winds will be a little less today but still gust to around 35 mph at times. Skies will be mostly sunny and temperatures will be a couple of degrees above normal.
As the high pressure builds closer to us we will have much less wind on Monday along with mostly sunny skies and mild temperatures.
A cold front will cross the area on Tuesday with showers expected, temperatures will continue to be mild.
High pressure building into our area will give us a dry and cooler day on Wednesday.
A coastal storm is likely to give us mostly rain on Thanksgiving, mainly in the afternoon and evening. As of this time, the only snow will be across the higher elevations to our north and west. However this system is still a few days away so this forecast may change.
Dry and chilly weather is expected for Friday through next weekend.
