Detailed Discussion

Following scattered evening showers and thunderstorms, high pressure will build in behind a cold front later tonight and Monday.  The high’s center will be far to our north, over central and northern Quebec, but it will be able to feed cooler and somewhat less humid air into the region tomorrow and tomorrow night.

By Tuesday, a warm front will attempt to return northeast into the region, accompanied by general showers.  Low pressure will initially track north through the central Great Lakes into central Ontario, but then fill as energy cuts under the Quebec high, and another weak wave will ripple along the warm front to our southwest, then pass just to our south or overhead while filling on Wednesday.  The showers will continue off to the east by early Wednesday, but we’ll be left in a very light flow with lots of low-level moisture.

This stagnant state of affairs will likely last into Friday.  Ridging will amplify aloft, just to our west, while at low levels a light and variable or light easterly flow persists as the big high to our north drifts towards the maritime provinces.  It’s a recipe for persistent low cloudiness and clamminess east of the Green Mountains, while west of the Greens afternoon sunshine will probably be able to boost the temperature to pleasant springtime levels.
