 The high pressure anchored over the region Is bringing a gorgeous day. Temperatures are very mild and winds are light. We have that disturbance moving across southeast Canada Producing a few isolated showers over northern New York and northern New England But Vast majority of us will stay dry today. I can't rule out A few very isolated thunderstorms over northern New York and northern new England today. Air quality Pennsylvania and the mid Atlantic region Is at a moderate level. This is especially true where we  have forest fires in New Jersey That is creating some wildfire smoke across New Jersey into New York city Long island and parts of Connecticut. This will keep the air quality messed up enough that those of y'all with Asthma or other breathing conditions will want to stay indoors as much as possible.

 The surface chart does show a warm front nosing into the region This will bring even warmer temperatures tomorrow and it will feel very summer like, a cold front will be approaching from the west out ahead of the front there will be a prefrontal trough. This will bring increasing clouds and then rain and thunderstorms during the afternoon into friday night. Rain and thunderstorms, will work into western Pennsylvania and western New York late morning early afternoon working its way west to east during the day; Preaching western new England Late friday night/overnight. As the day goes on winds will be increasing with gust of 25-30 mph possible. As the actual cold front gets closer and starts to move through rain will be increasingly becoming more steady Friday night for western parts of the region. The cold front will slide across the rest of the region on Saturday rain will be widespread, steady and heavy at times, Winds will also remain very gusty.  It won't be a complete washout but it won't be a pleasant day .Behind the trough There will likely be a period of clearing, then the second round will come through with the actual cold front. How much clearing we see will be the determining factor  on how severe our chances will be for severe weather Right now The setup doesn't look to be widespread severe storms But there could be a few strong severe cells here and there. The rain will be lightning up and ending west to east, first across western parts of the region by Saturday afternoon and then ending across New England Saturday night into the overnight. 

 There could still be some rain up over Maine Sunday morning. But for most Sunday will be much cooler but dry. Winds will still be an issue so they will make the cool air feel even chillier. Monday will see high pressure remain overhead providing a nice day ,With a suddenly flow with a southern flow that will bring mild air back. This high pressure will start to exit the region on Tuesday, The southern flow will increase allowing for temperatures to become even more summer like. We will have a disturbance approaching on Tuesday there will be a chance for rain to be working south and east across the region later Tuesday and Wednesday there will be a chance for isolated thunderstorms as well. High pressure will be setting up Overhead For Wednesday night and Thursday Cooler with seasonal temperatures and dry conditions.
