Patchy Fog and Drizzle this Morning; Decreasing Clouds this Afternoon

Current Surface Map
Current Surface Map
A frontal boundary has moved through and is now to our south. In its wake, low level moisture is in place. This is manifesting as areas of drizzle and fog. High pressure will continue to move into the area today, dislodging the moisture and leading to decreasing clouds this afternoon. Highs today will be in the low 80s.

High pressure will continue to build in tomorrow. As a result, expect a mix of clouds and highs in the mid 80s.

The high pressure will move to our south and off the coast by Saturday. As it does, southerly flow around the high will pump warmer air and higher humidity into the area. This will provide a slight chance of an isolated shower or thunderstorm during the afternoon hours. Highs on Saturday will be in the upper 80s to near 90.

All Eyes Toward the Weekend

Current Surface Map
Easterly flow around an area of high pressure off New England has allowed fog and clouds to develop this morning. Meanwhile, Hurricane Sandy has strengthened to a Category 2 storm near Cuba.

The clouds due to moisture off the Atlantic will persist into the afternoon, keeping high temperatures in the low 70s.

Expect drizzle to develop tonight into tomorrow morning as easterly flow continues. There should be some partial clearing tomorrow afternoon with highs in the low 70s.

As Hurricane Sandy continues its northward trek, it will combine with the high to the north to maintain and enhance the easterly flow in our area. This will lead to a cloudy Saturday with highs in the mid to upper 60s.
