.SYNOPSIS...
High pressure slowly builds in from the northeast through
Saturday and remains into Sunday. Meanwhile a thermal trough
develops inland Saturday and Sunday afternoon. High pressure
will remain over the Atlantic through the beginning of next
week. A cold front may approach the area by the end of the week.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM SATURDAY MORNING/...
A weak upper zonal flow will initially be across the northeast
into this evening, and then a weak upper ridge develops as
heights begin to slowly rise overnight. Meanwhile a surface high
will be building into the region from coastal New England.
While there is surface instability and CAPE there is little
forcing and a weak capping inversion for little convection to
develop. The main focus into this evening will be inland with a
surface trough developing. Any storms will be isolated, but
could produce briefly heavy rainfall, with high precipitable
water values and slow moving storms. Storms will then diminish
with the loss of daytime heating.

Then late tonight a weak shortwave moves through the weak upper
ridge, and this may trigger additional showers and thunderstorms
toward Saturday morning.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM SATURDAY MORNING THROUGH SUNDAY/...
The weak upper shortwave will move through the area early
Saturday morning, and there will be a brief break in the showers
and thunderstorms until Saturday afternoon as additional upper

of showers and thunderstorms will be. Overall, Saturday
afternoon and evening will be a repeat of Friday
afternoon/evening in regard to precipitation.

ridge axis moving offshore Sunday afternoon with the approach of
a digging upper trough and surface cold front.
