A cool, dry air flow between Canadian Maritime low pressure and east central Canada high pressure continues today into Friday but the gusty breeze we have will settle back on Friday as the high center moves closer. This high will then move right across the region early in the weekend before settling to the south of our region and allowing a warm-up to take place. For now it still looks like Canadian high pressure will not be strong enough to push another front our way before the end of Sunday, but that boundary will probably be in the region and combine with moisture from the west to bring unsettled weather to the region by Monday.

DAYS 6-10 (SEPTEMBER 20-24)
Unsettled weather may linger into September 20 with a frontal boundary nearby before dry weather and above normal temperatures return for the final hours of summer. Watching for a Canadian cold front to drop through later in the period with a switch to cooler air but uncertain on the timing.
DAYS 11-15 (SEPTEMBER 25-29)
Overall pattern looks fairly dry and there may be 1 or 2 shots of cool air from Canada in a pattern of variable temperatures. Also need to watch potential offshore tropical cyclone activity for at least increased surf.
