SYNOPSIS
High pressure over the Ohio Valley Friday builds slowly east this weekend and crest over New England Sunday. This will provide dry weather along with warm days and cool nights. The next chance of showers, albeit very low, is Sunday night as weak low pressure tracks south of the region. High pressure brings warm and dry weather through the middle of next week, then the weather pattern becomes unsettled toward the end of the week as a frontal system approaches from the west.

NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/
Another beautiful day ahead for southern New England with mainly clear skies and seasonably warm temperatures. Today, June 1st, marks the official start to the North Atlantic Hurricane Season. Should go without saying it's only a matter of when, not if, a hurricane makes landfall along our coastline. While there have had numerous topical storms, August of 1991 brought Hurricane Bob, the last landfalling hurricane in southern New England. Take time today, this weekend, or this month to review whether or not you reside in an evacuation zone and what items you can buy right now to build out your emergency kit. Because, let's be honest, waiting to last minute will feel as you are out shopping/fighting the crowds on Black Friday, minus the deals/savings.

As for today's conditions, surface high pressure and mid-level ridge sits to our west and closed low over the Maritimes, this allows for north/northwest flow and reinforces a dry airmass. While there will be a bit of a chill in the air this morning, temperatures will rebound nicely into the upper 70s and low 80s. Adding to this already stunning day will be the low dewpoints/no humidity.
Seabreeze develops along the eastern coast of Massachusetts late this morning, this onshore flow over waters cool SST and the cooler airmass associated with the closed low off to the east/northeast keep

SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH 6 PM SUNDAY/
Tonight: Mid-level ridge shifts over New England and deamplifies by Sunday morning. Generally a clear-ish night though increasing mid and high clouds from west to east, mainly the second half of the night. Light winds and generally clear skies should allow for another cool night ahead, while NMB was too warm, did keep with the cooler MOS guidance. Lows are upper 40s and low 50s, the urban centers like Hartford, Providence and Boston are slightly warmer around 55-58 degrees.

Sunday: Surface high remains in control, while mid-level has become more zonal and returns moisture aloft. A shortwave does help to increase cloud cover during the afternoon with a low chance of a passing shower, mainly area southwest of Hartford late afternoon into the early evening. Otherwise another dry and warm day is on tap with highs a few degrees warmer in the low and middle 80s. Because of southwest winds, the south coast of Rhode Island and southeast Massachusetts are a tad cooler in the middle and upper 80s.

LONG TERM /SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY/

Key Points...

* High pressure supports warm/dry weather through mid week

* Rain chances return Thursday or Friday

Details...

Quiet, warm, and dry weather continues for the first half of next week thanks to a large areas of mid level ridging which moves from the Ohio Valley on Monday to New England by mid week. This will keep the forecast dry with slightly warmer than seasonable temperatures.
Monday will be the warmest day of the week with widespread low 80s (inland) and 70s (along the coast). Thereafter expect highs in the 70s with cooler temps along the immediate coasts. The pattern then looks to change as we go toward next weekend with a large mid level trough digging into the Great Lakes directing more moisture into SNE ahead of it which may materialize as showers as early as Thursday or Friday.
