Friday will be warm and humid with highs reaching the mid to upper 80s inland and in the mid 70s to near 80 along the coast. Clouds will give way to some sunshine and there could be some downpours late in the day and in the evening as a cold front nears.

Saturday begins the decent into the onshore flow thanks to the blocking in the North Atlantic. It will take a little while to get going on Saturday and there will be some downpours around but some areas could see some dry stretches as well. Temperatures will be in the 70s. The ocean wind kicks in Sunday with lots of clouds and on and off rain. Temperatures will be just into the 60s. Those conditions continue into Monday and Tuesday of next week with low pressure off the Delaware coast that will be slow to move.

GFS RAINFALL FORECAST

Weather models show a generous amount of rain possible from Friday through Tuesday with much of the area from Maryland to Southern New England in a 2 to 4 inch rain area. Spread out over 5 days this might not necessarily be problematic but it is a good soaking that occurs.
