It’s no secret that New England’s weather has been dominated by high pressure for the past couple weeks. Except for a couple weak, unassuming features, this will continue for another several days, at least. One of these weak features will drop into northern New England today as a cold front. This front may trigger a couple brief, weak showers, mostly across New Hampshire and Maine. While a quick shower can’t be 100% ruled out anywhere in New England today, many more areas will stay dry wire to wire versus areas that see a shower.
This front will stall out across northern New England thanks to the nearby high pressure. The front will weaken and eventually wash out on Saturday. This could allow for a couple more quick showers on Saturday, but moisture will be so limited, anything will have trouble developing and will likely stay in the higher terrain. High pressure begins to slide offshore this weekend, allowing an onshore flow and a slight cool-down for the coastal plain. Temperatures will remain warm and above average through at least early next week.
