4/0/12 Red Flags, Showers and Sun.

A retrograding area of low pressure (moving in from Atlantic Canada) will keep our weather unsettled for most of the week with a mix of showers, clouds and some sun.  The further north you go in New England, the more clouds you will see for the week.  Since this low is to our north, and being mostly cut off from the main flow of the atmosphere, we will only see a few minor effects of this low.

We can expect scattered showers for much of the week. The flow around the Low in Canada and the High over the South will track over southern New England for much of the week, this will help keep temperatures seasonal and the heavier rains to the north.
What is known as a Red Flag Warning is in effect for the day today. This takes into account the dryness of the ground, wind speeds and the threat for fires (brush fires).   Winds will be gusty today, reaching the 30-35 mph. Please take care with any burning materials today.
