High pressure moving off the New England coast will give us a dry day today with temperatures a couple of degrees higher than yesterday and the dew point will rise to the low-mid 60s.

Very warm and humid on Sunday as the high will be off the coast and a cold front approaches our area. There will be a chance of afternoon and evening showers and thunderstorms.

The front will be in our area Monday and Tuesday with showers likely with some heavy rain possible which would help with our drought conditions.

Dry weather with seasonably warm temperatures and moderate humidity Wednesday through Friday as high pressure builds into our area.
