The long-term forecast shows a continuation of dry weather with a steady warming trend through the weekend. High pressure to the south of New England will be the dominant feature, with periods of clouds due to mid-level shortwaves passing by.
The next chance for precipitation is expected early next week, with timing and strength details still to be pinned down. Southern New England may experience periods of clouds as mid-level shortwaves pass by, but precipitation is not expected through the weekend.
Temperatures will remain near to slightly above normal through Saturday, with a further warming trend into Tuesday. A low dipping out of Canada and a southerly flow of moisture may offer more widespread showers Tuesday.
