9/26/11 Changes are coming...

A strong low pressure area off the Pacific Northwest Coast will be our weathermaker into late this week and the weekend.  It will help usher in much cooler and drier air by Friday.
The large storm out west will work its way into the Northeast and kick out the stubborn low that has been sitting over the Ohio Valley all week.
Speaking of stubborn lows, it has not moved much at all over the past 4 days and is seen quiet nicely on this image.
The low over the Ohio Valley is cut off from the main flow of the jet stream over Canada and is just sitting, allowing moisture to flow in from the Gulf of Mexico into the Northeast.  That is why it has been humid and will remain humid until this low moves out.
We will remain dry however as the airmass is not as conducive to producing rain. However as the low finally begins to move late Tuesday into Wednesday and Thursday, expect the chance for showers to return, with more humid conditions on Thursday.

The low moves past New England by Friday with much cooler weather anticipated.
