Weekend weather

Happy weekend! A huge high pressure system is on top of us for the next several days. That will cause sunny and summery conditions. The front that caused the cool and cloudy weather is stalled over the mid-atlantic states. Showers and storms are forming along the front and moving northeastward. The showers will most likely remain south of Cape Cod, but it is something to watch over the next couple of days.
