Synopsis: The upper-level low that has provided for below-normal temperatures and rain/snow showers across the region will slowly move off towards the east later tonight into Thursday. A large dome of high pressure will settle into the northeast later Thursday night into Friday and provide for fair weather and moderating temperatures. A warm front will move through the state on Saturday producing clouds and some showers. Then as heights rise over the east coast in response to the building southeast ridge later this weekend and into early next week, very warm temperatures will accompany.

Short term (Tonight through Friday):

An upper-level low that is currently over most of the northeast is producing scattered rain/snow showers throughout the region, however, as the upper-level low moves off the east coast later tonight and into Thursday, the showers will diminish. Thursday will see an improvement from today's weather as clouds should break for some sun and temperatures will be about 8-10 degrees warmer. As high pressure settles over the region later tomorrow evening, skies will clear and overnight temperatures will drop to near freezing through most of the state. Friday will turn out to be a nice day with temperatures topping out into the 60s with abundant sunshine as the region will still be under the influence of high pressure.

Long Term (Saturday and Sunday):

A warm front will move through the state later on Saturday, producing some showers, especially along the northern zones. Then as heights rise on Sunday in response to the building southeast ridge, temperatures will warm up into the 70s across most of the state.
