Strong high pressure centered over the Canadian Maritimes will give our area an onshore southeast flow of air. Temperatures will be near seasonable levels with highs in the mid to upper 70s. Dew points will gradually rise to the 60s by this afternoon.
Wednesday will be a mostly cloudy day with somewhat warmer temperatures and humidity. There is a chance of showers as a slow moving front to our west approaches our area. Southeast flow will become brisk in the afternoon with gusts up to 25 mph.
The slow moving front will slowly move through the area which will likely cause showers Thursday into Friday. Temperatures will be near seasonable. The humidity will continue to be on the high side on Thursday but gradually lower by Friday afternoon.
At this point the weekend looks mainly dry with near seasonable temperatures and low humidity.
