Upper level low pressure remains parked over the state of Maine today, before finally moving into the Canadian Maritime provinces this evening. Another day of abundant cloud cover and off and on light snow showers and flurries looks to be in the offing for the start of the new work week. High pressure builds into the region overnight tonight, and lasts through Tuesday, bringing some gradual clearing to the region.
A storm system is forecast to move from the center of the nation on Tuesday, to a position near the Carolina coast by Wednesday morning. This storm is forecast to remain well south of the region through this period. The greatest threat for precipitation as result of the storm looks to also exist further south. It appears as if the Capital Region may only see the cloud cover from the storm and perhaps a few residual light flurries and/or sprinkles.
High pressure is forecast to descend from southern Canada, and build into the region for the end of the week and into the coming weekend. Temperatures look to moderate to above normal levels by this time as the high sinks south of the region.
