Quick overview of this week!

The start of the Labor Day Weekend was wet for some and dry for others, but overall, it wasn't too bad but a bit cool.  The pattern will be splendid as we move forward for the next couple of days, but big changes are on the way.

Looking at the 500mb heights we can see troughing over the Pacific Northwest and the Northeast, with that persistent high pressure ridge out over the Plains.

By Wednesday that ridge across the center of the US, will have pushed east.

Today

 Temperatures are still seasonally cool, but conditions are mostly dry. But we do have that upper-level-low in the Canadian Maritimes, spinning in some clouds and isolated showers back over eastern Maine.

Tonight, will be very cool for early September, with the region dropping into the 50s°F and 40s°F But temperatures in the higher elevations like the Tug Hill, Adirondacks, Greens and Whites will make it into the mid to upper 30s°F

The rest of the week

Tomorrow that high pressure sitting north of the Great Lakes will push east and push that ULL out of here, allowing for the Sun and fabulous weather currently over New York State and Pennsylvania to push into the rest of New England.  Leading to a fantastic Labor Day Monday for all y’all.

For Tuesday ahead of a frontal system, we will see cloudiness start to move in. Our Temperatures will be slightly below average to average. The same general conditions for the first part of Wednesday but then a few showers will be working in the afternoon over western parts of the region these will be working south and east during the day making it into eastern New England Wednesday night into Thursday, as that area of low-pressure system moves across Canada. region. The leading warm front will allow warmer temperatures and higher dewpoints into the region, as that high pressure ridge pushes toward the Southeast U.S. Wednesday and Thursday will be warm and somewhat humid. But the warmest temperatures will be over Pennsylvania, Maryland, Delaware into New Jersey.  Along with the warmer temperatures will come the chance for scattered rain showers and thunderstorms, although rain amounts don’t look to amount to all that much at this time.  For Wednesday into Friday winds will become gusty, with gust up to 25-30 mph possible.

Later Thursday and Friday will see a cold front approach and move through the region, with high pressure building back in from the north and west, allowing Friday and the coming weekend to be mostly dry, much cooler and less humid.

Over the coming weekend it will feel like Fall. But I still think overall temperatures for the month of September, will end up slightly above average.
