Low pressure traveling along the New England / Canadian border will slowly move to the east today into tomorrow. To begin a warm front will push north into Canada allowing slightly warmer air to settle into the region and the chance of precipitation will diminish for the morning hours. In the afternoon a cold front will begin to push to the east bringing rain back and keeping the summits firmly in the fog. As the cold front passes the potential for thunderstorms is expected into the evening hours and any thunderstorms that develop have the potential to produce strong gusty winds, small hail, heavy downpours, and dangerous cloud-to-ground lightning. Into Friday an upper level trough will push the cold front out over the Atlantic.
