Soaking rains from Wednesday’s nor’easter have long since exited east, yet we will continue to feel the impact of this low with windy conditions to start the weekend. As the low continues moving east, an area of high pressure will build in and take its place. Winds will relax and we should enjoy a nice, sunny day for Saturday. Clouds are expected to build back in as a potential extratropical remnant low of what could become Subtropical Storm Nestor this weekend pass south of the region. Temperatures during this period are expected to be at or just below normal in the low-60s with a warm up going into next week.

Rest of today – windy conditions continue as the pressure gradient between a building area of high pressure to the west and the low that brought us rain Wednesday which is now over the Canadian Maritimes. High temperatures around 60°F with partly cloudy skies. Overnight lows expected to be quite cool, in the low-40s with skies looking to clear up and winds dying down – conditions that could lead to some strong radiational cooling.

Saturday – high pressure builds in and gives us a sparkling, sunny, fall day with high temperatures in the low-60s. Overnight lows milder around 50°F.

Sunday – although the extratropical remnants of what could be Subtropical Storm Nestor are forecast to pass well south of the area, this storm is expected to have a broad cloud shield to its north, and some outlying rain bands could even result in a couple scattered rain showers for the area. High temperatures should be similar to Saturday in the low-60s, because even with clouds, overall flow will be from the south. Overnight lows around 50°F again.

Monday – with this low exiting east, we’ll see more southerly flow ahead of the next incoming storm system. High temperatures should respond by warmingin into the upper-60s with mostly sunny skies. Overnight lows in the mid-50s with mostly cloudy skies.
