High pressure over Quebec will give us a brisk onshore flow of cooler air today. A coastal low pressure off the North Carolina coast will spread some clouds into the area by this afternoon.
The coastal low will come closer to our are on Wednesday and will give us considerable clouds along with a chance of periods of light rain. Rainfall amounts in our area will be only about a tenth of an inch while coastal area across southern New Jersey may pick up an inch.
We dry out on Thursday and with more sunshine temperatures will be warmer as high pressure builds into the area.
