FORECAST DISCUSSION

Normal high: 77°F. Normal low: 57°F.

The frontal boundary that was responsible for the extended period of cloudy, and sometimes wet, weather over the past week as departed as a cold front, and we're going to enjoy some pleasant weather over the coming days.

With high pressure in charge, Thursday evening and overnight will be mostly clear and cool

Friday will be mostly sunny, and not as breezy as Thursday.

A low pressure system will swing down from Quebec and across New England before heading out to sea. It will sweep a weak cold front across Delmarva early on Saturday. While this front has never been expected to be much of a rain-maker, it's now looking like it will be a dry passage, leaving Saturday's skies mostly sunny with a gusty north breeze knocking temperatures down into the refreshingly cool low 70s.

Sunday will be similar, but not as breezy.

Our next chances for rain will come in the form of a few weak fronts in the Monday-Thursday timeframe next week. However, guidance is suggesting that none of these fronts will have much moisture to deal with, so for now I'm just going to leave the forecast as partly cloudy with chances for a few stray showers that should not have a big effect on any outdoor plans.

In the long range, temperatures are expected to average above normal, and precipitation near normal for Jun 4 - Jun 10.
