A frontal boundary will slowly drift east of the state today as a cold front approaches from the west for Friday. Canadian high pressure parked over the Canadian Maritimes will continue to wrap around a strong southerly flow of mild and moist air, keeping temperatures well above normal as well as maintaining ample amounts of fog and clouds above the summit. The increased warmth and moisture will also aid in a bit of instability along the frontal boundaries over the forecast period, allowing for a continued chance of drizzle, rain showers, or thunderstorms through tomorrow. Thunderstorms may produce strong, sudden winds, small hail, and prolonged heavy rains since they will not be moving much from where they formed; so very isolated pockets, if at all, can be expected.
