Summery Pattern to prevail for next week!!

Hi guys, sorry for the absence, there just hasn't been much to write home about. It looks like we're going into a much more summery pattern. Why? Simple. Let's look at the upper level pattern. Right now, a trough is centered along the west coast. At the same, a ULL can be found over the northern part of Hudson Bay. The Polar Jet, which recently has dipped into New England will be shunted north of the Great Lakes into Canada. An ULL can be found over Iceland. This correlates to a +AO. At the same, the -NAO pattern from the winter remains, but it's now focused over rhe northern latitudes and is east based. The cooler airmass is now centered over Northern New England. An impressive ridge will build from the SE states, westward into the Plains. Relatively fast, zonal flow will rule the rest of the country, with the ridge to the south, and the trougb over the western states. A surface high will set up shop off the SE coast, which means a southwesterly flow becomes established not only in the low levels, but in the mid levels as well. A hot and humid airmass will become established over the Northern Mid Atlantic, except for mesoscale features, such as thunderstorms or sea breezes. From time to time, weak mid level disturbances will invade from the G/L. Most of the period should be dry however. Some "relief" might be found with a cold frontal passage later next week. But get ready for 80's and 90's with high dewpoints. Summer is here folks!!!
