&& .SHORT TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT/...
-- Changed Discussion --
High pressure remains over the region through much of Friday, before starting to shift east to the New England coast late Friday into Friday night. This will result in abundant sunshine with temperatures in the upper 70s to near 80, and dewpoints in the 40s. Temperatures Friday night will once again fall to the mid 50s to mid 60s.

&& .LONG TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
-- Changed Discussion --
High pressure will pass off the New England Coast Friday night, allowing a warm front to lift through on Saturday. An unsettled but very warm period will set up for Saturday night and Sunday as a prefrontal trough and cold front move through, bringing showers/tstms. The heat index may approach or surpass 95, mainly in NE NJ and perhaps also in NYC and along the north shore of Long Island, with temps approaching 90 and dewpoints in the lower 70s, but it is possible that limited daytime heating and/or better vertical mixing could lead to cooler temps and/or lower dewpoints so this remains uncertain, and at any rate would last for only one day. With the exception of Sunday, and possibly next Wednesday ahead of another cold front when temps will again be on the rise, temps should be close to normal.
