The low pressure responsible for the severe weather is slowly pulling away. A strong northwest flow will keep it windy and cool today. We will see the chance for scattered showers.

Father’s Day Weekend, is looking overall quite nice. The northern jet will be dipping into the Northeast. Saturday will become quite warm, but the jet will keep humidity levels under control for Saturday. Sunday this high pressure will move east, allowing for a southwesterly flow that will bring in the warmth and humidity.
