5/25/12 We have a little bit of everything for everybody! Even HEAT!

This Memorial Day weekend forecast sounds more like a forecast one would be making for Labor Day.  Many features are happening on the weather maps and I hope to convey some of them to you below.

This mornings satellite image shows many of the features that will play in this weekends weather as well as into next week. For New England and Boston the focus will be on a cold front that will push north of us today and the high pressure over the south. A tropical storm is likely forming off the Carolina coast today. Each detailed below.

1.  The cold front -  This front will actually push well north of New England into Canada today and on the day Saturday, allowing the area of high pressure to the south to nudge in for Saturday and give us a very warm day.  However this cold front sneaks back down from Canada on Saturday night and runs into this large area of high pressure to the south and gets stuck over New England at least until Tuesday.

2.  The Hot High pressure that will bring heat to the south nudges in for one day of warmth on Saturday bringing temperatures into the 80s. However the front eventually comes back through and turns the winds east off the ocean and pushed the hotter air back to the mid Atlantic.

3. Disturbances will ride along the front to bring the chances for showers each day into Tuesday

4. A tropical storm is likely to be forming (out of season) off the coast of the Carolinas.  The weather pattern can actually be seen in its model track being pushed back south into GA/FL by late this weekend and then eventually up the coastline and out to sea by next week.
