First, we hang on to a blanket of broken clouds and even some patchy drizzle associated with the low level moisture left behind from our departed, much weakened low that was the nor&#8217;easter that impacted the region. If you count from when the high clouds ahead of the system first showed up (last Thursday) to its final impact of the aforementioned clouds and drizzle today, that&#8217;s a 7-day overall stay! But it finally leaves us today as the clouds break up and we get partial sun and milder air. This leads to a much warmer Thursday and Friday as high pressure slides south of our region and off the Atlantic Coast, giving us a southwesterly air flow. Much of our region gets well into the 70s Thursday and some thermometers see what could be the last 80+ degree air for quite a while on Friday. This short-lived summer &#8220;p.s.&#8221; will be wiped out by a cold front that sweeps through the region Friday night, trailing from a low that will move quickly eastward across southeastern Canada. This returns more seasonable air to our region for the weekend, which now looks completely dry. I had eyed the chance of some rain for Sunday, but trends have been steadily to see that moisture pass well to our south as there is a split flow developing, with a weaker southern jet stream carrying that energy east as a stronger northern stream keeps us dry through Sunday as a surface high pressure area moves across the region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>TODAY: Mostly cloud with early-morning drizzle patches then partly sunny.
