Weather
The whole system shifts northward Sunday with cooler, more seasonable air replacing the mild air mass we’ve been experiencing the past week.
Much of the region will be on the dry, breezy side with sunshine and scattered clouds with the exception of northern New England where we’ll see a bit more cloud cover and the risk for a few lingering showers in the morning, especially across the higher elevations and northern Maine. Highs reach the low 60s south, mid 50s to 60 north with a gusty west wind 10-20mph.
Monday will feature cooler than average temps with sunshine and scattered afternoon clouds. Highs reach the mid to upper 50s north, around 60 south.
An upper level system over the Great Lakes will continue to influence our weather keeping us cooler than average through the middle of the week.
We could see a few showers late Monday night into Tuesday as a weak area of low pressure cuts through southern New England. Other than that, the rest of the work week is looking dry with close to seasonable temps by the end of the work week which is featured on our First Alert Exclusive 10-Day Forecast.
Enjoy your weekend!
