High pressure off the New England coast will give us a light onshore flow of cool air today along with mostly sunny skies.
A disturbance on a front to our south will likely give us some well needed showers on Wednesday, temperatures will continue to be cool with a slight increase in humidity.
Thursday will be a partly sunny day but it will be breezy as Hurricane Erin makes the closest approach to our area but well out to sea.
A bit warmer Friday into the weekend but a cold front may cause some showers Sunday into Monday.
