Weather synopsis: April 6

11:03am scattered showers and thunderstorms have been rumbling through the Northeast this morning. A stationary front over the Great Lakes has provided a means for a series of weak disturbances to move from the Midwest into the Northeast. Some of these disturbances will feature some embedded thunderstorms; some of which could be strong to severe. Temperatures to the north of the stationary front will be slightly cooler in to the 50s and 60s compared to the 70s south of the front. This frontal boundary is associated with a more potent storm system over the nation's mid section that will likely produce severe weather in the Midwest today before working its way to the Northeast as the week progresses. This storm system will drag a cold front that will eventually drop our temperatures by the end of the week by a significant factor. Highs are forecast to be in the 40s and 50s by Friday with a chance of rain mixing with snow at night in to the higher elevations. Tomorrow will be a nice day with highs reaching the 70s and warmer south of the frontal boundary with 80's. These warm temperatures will likely cause enough instability in the Atmosphere to produce isolated spring time thunderstorms. Thursday will be a trancision day as a cold front works in from the west. Generally speaking; expect temperatures to remain mild to warm with a slight chance of scattered showers and storms then cooler and by the end of the week. This weekend wont be a complete washout as sunshine returns by Saturday afternoon and highs returning to the 60s. Fair weather should continue beyond Sunday with a chance of showers returning next week Wednesday.
