Sunny Skies for the Northeast
Forecast looks good for this week as a large ridge of high pressure is setting up just off the Northeast coast on Tuesday. The ridge will remain in place till Friday resulting in dry weather and mostly sunny skies from the Ohio Valley to the East Coast. Conditions will also start to heat up as southerly winds will allow warmer air to move into the area, giving many places an early taste of summer. Highs will rise into the low to mid-80s as far north as northern New England on Thursday and Friday. Even the Appalachians and coastal areas, typically the cooler parts of the region, will approach 80 degrees as some of the warmest air so far moves in, just ahead of the upcoming holiday weekend.
