  16. 75 looks to be the high here for the day. Just a wonderful day, although ragweed/hayfever seems high. Do think tomorrow may not be as cloudy as forecast with Lee curret view and motion. We will see.

Beyond there ridging into the east, even though heights being forecast higher, think we have some onshore and cut offs. We'll see still overall warm period coming up think we max in the 80s. Tropics and any cutof could yield a wetter scenario.

  20. 72 / 51. On way to a gorgeous stretch of weather through the weekend. Only clouds from Lee (maybe from NJ shore east) Saturday (9/16) and waves/surf.

Ridging into the east but some onshore flow and you see potential for cut off low undercutting an any ridging, but overall warm finish to Sep, need to watch for rain chances if anything cuts of nearby. Lee nearing the Atlantic coast ME - Can
