Temperatures this afternoon started on the cool side and are not going up much despite some sunshine. They are certainly much cooler than they were yesterday at this time around our region (even if they are warmer just off to our east).
The culprit is a pair of low-pressure centers to our north and northeast respectively. The coastal low is the stronger of the two and will push towards the Canadian Maritimes. Known as a nor’easter, more typically we would see it during the winter months, but despite what it says on the calendar, it’s what will be affecting the weather in our area – and in areas to our east – over the next couple of days.
The low brings us cool air from the north for the early part of the forecast, along with chances for showers. The overall pattern for the next seven days, in fact, is a wet one as a series of lows continues to give us chances for rain. Over the next seven days, rainfall totals could be fairly heavy in spots, but the rain will be spread out, so flooding should be at a minimum.
As for temperatures, readings will be cool through the early part of the forecast. Highs will only be in the upper 50s tomorrow, before rebounding a bit during the weekend and through the holiday and beyond. By the end of the forecast, we’ll be closer to the normal highs, but still below it.
