Mostly Sunny, Slightly Warmer

Upper level disturbances continue to rotate around the deep trough over the Northeast U.S. When the uplift associated with these disturbances encounters some lingering low level moisture, low clouds develop. A few passing clouds will be possible this morning, but we should be mostly sunny this afternoon. As the aforementioned trough moves northeast, low level temperatures will slowly warm. This warming aloft should correspond to slightly warmer temperatures at the surface today, but still well below normal (normal high is 61). Highs should top out around 50 this afternoon. Winds may also be breeze this afternoon with gusts between 15 and 20 mph. Another weak upper level disturbance will approach the area before midnight, so a few passing low clouds may be possible. Otherwise, skies should be clear overnight with dry air and clear skies. As a result, temperatures will be very chilly tomorrow with lows around 26.
