411 AM EDT Sat Apr 27 2024

.DISCUSSION... 

Persistent high pressure system continues to support dry
conditions and light winds across the region. Do expect a sea
breeze to develop along both southern and eastern coastlines with
winds speeds around 10 knots. A warm front provides increased
cloud cover later tonight with scattered rain showers mainly
across the western half of southern New England late tonight and
Sunday. Do not expect any wetting rainfall at this time.
Southwest wind develops on Sunday with wind speeds less than
10 knots. 

Minimum relative humidities will be between 25 and 30 percent
away from the coasts this afternoon. Near the coast, values are
35 to 45 percent. 

.OUTLOOK...Monday through Thursday...

Looking mainly dry Monday outside of an isolated shower. Better
shower chances look to move in mid week, but coverage and
intensity of showers is very uncertain at this point.
