· Last day today of weather influences with periodic clouds and a few sprinkles still to affect far NE Kingdom adjacent Canada/NH, while most of our region break free of this ridiculous backward spring weather system.

· Model trends were continuing near linear with a gradual but certain warm up with sunshine to predominate starting Wednesday and continuing into this weekend.

· What could mess this up? – A low pressure system tracking closer to the coast over Fathers Day weekend.

· Right now this system stays south with a “doughnut-like” ridging of atmospheric sinking motion – a cloud killer at least this time of year. Happy Fathers Day!
