Today features warmer temperatures and mostly sunny skies, with the exception of some afternoon showers.
Sea breezes are expected to develop at the coast where an onshore breeze wins a battle against lighter inland winds. High temperatures rise into the upper 70s and low 80s. Overnight, any shower activity moves offshore as a weak area of high pressure slides into the region. Overnight lows drop down into the upper 50s to low 60s south, mid 50s across the North Country.
For those who have missed the opportunity to see the rare five-planet alignment of Mercury, Jupiter, Mars, Venus, and Saturn in the eastern/southern sky, you may be able to sneak a peek of the celestial show very early tomorrow where patchy fog doesn’t develop.
A taste of summer heat is on tap for Saturday with highs rising into the upper 80s to low 90s. While humidity will be rising, it won’t become stifling. Any morning fog burns off by the afternoon. Dry and quiet weather continues into Sunday as high pressure remains nearby. Highs will again soar into the mid to upper 80s and low 90s. It will also feel more uncomfortable thanks to increased humidity levels. Sea breezes will yet again develop at the coast.
