Higher Summits Forecast

An area of high pressure will crest over New England as it treks to the coast today. This will provide a fog free day on the summits but skies above will not stay completely cloud free as high and middle clouds from the west begin to approach for the afternoon ahead of a weak cold front. The low responsible for this front will continue to push the high out and tighten the pressure gradient over the northeast increasing winds this afternoon into tomorrow morning. The overnight front could bring a few mixed showers to the summits in addition to keeping skies cloudy and possibly bringing some fog by sunrise. On Sunday, high pressure rebuilds over the region, keeping summits mostly fog free under sunny skies as winds begin to dampen a bit and temperatures moderate to seasonable levels.
