A few showers tonight, cooler weather will follow
High clouds are streaming into the area this afternoon ahead of a low pressure system, which is located well to the west-northwest of our area. The associated cold front, however, will sweep through the Northeast States later tonight into early Sunday. After a generally pleasant Saturday, a period of unsettled weather is likely from Saturday Night into early Sunday morning, with moisture pooling along the cold front and aiding in the development of showers throughout the area.
This front will eventually swing east of the area by later on Sunday morning. Behind it, another shot of cooler air will make its way through the Northeast states. Mid level temperatures will drop by several degrees, and northwest winds will begin in earnest. But this won’t occur fully until later on Sunday evening — and so despite the cooling occurring in the mid levels of the atmosphere, high temperatures will end up being quite pleasant. After the showers on Sunday morning, in fact, temperatures will reach into the mid 60’s with abundant sunshine.
