Rain chances return late next week with warmer than average temperatures lingering

The quiet stretch of weather we’re on has to come to an end at some point and that will likely happen by late next week as the persistent quiet pattern as of late begins to break down.

A high pressure upper-level ridge which will pass overhead through the weekend into early next week bringing summertime air to the region, will push to the northeast into Canada as a low pressure trough arrives heading into the later portion of the week.

Temperatures through the middle of the week will be more typical of late June as highs are expected to be around or in the lower 80s from Monday through Thursday along with an increase in humidity as moisture pools into the area.

The trough will bring clouds, rain and possibly thunderstorm chances to the area on Thursday, but given that it’s several days away, there is still uncertainty on the track of the trough and overall timing of any rain chances. Specific details will become clearer heading through next week.

Behind the system, temperatures will cool down, but still remain above average in the 70s with possibly additional rain chances over the weekend especially on Sunday.
