Discussion              

A strong upper-level trough of low pressure will push into the eastern states on Friday and lead to the development of low pressure near the east coast. This system will ride up along the coast and reach its peak intensity to the northeast of here later in the weekend. As a result, occasional rain will take place here on Friday and Friday night and lingering showers are possible on Saturday morning – not a total washout. The winds will become strong later Saturday through Sunday with gusts past 40 mph on the table as strong low pressure pushes across northern New England.
