New England will continue to be firmly within the grip of high pressure for at least the next several days. This will bring continued dry and mainly sunny weather through the weekend. With the high pressure overhead today and tomorrow, New England will continue to see cool mornings followed by a swift recovery to warm temperatures in the afternoon. There are no chances for any meaningful precipitation in the forecast as systems are being directed well to the north of the region, around the high pressure.
The only wrinkle in this dry period will come on Friday when a subtle disturbance will try to pull a backdoor cold front into northern New England. This could trigger some spotty showers, mainly across northern New England, throughout Friday. While passing showers will be possible anywhere in New England on Friday, more areas will likely stay dry all day. Areas that do see a shower will likely see no more than a tenth of an inch of rainfall.
Along with the quiet weather, a distinct warming trend will continue for the rest of the week. The warm-up will continue to be gradual, with each day a notch warmer than the last. Widespread 80s are likely across most of New England by Friday, with many areas likely seeing an 80° reading on Thursday. This stretch of warmer weather does look to push through the weekend and into next week with many areas stringing multiple 80° days together. High pressure overhead means a weak flow, which will allow for sea breezes.
