Building high pressure over New England and the Canadian maritime provinces early this week is setting up a clockwise flow around the high, and that's beginning to draw a cool easterly flow of Atlantic air into the region. With that come clouds and mild-for-the season temperatures.

Forecasters out at Sterling are calling for highs in the 70s Monday and Tuesday with plenty of clouds. (Average for this time of year is around 83 degrees.) But the breather we've enjoyed from the rain should continue, at least until mid-week.

By Wednesday, forecasters say, low pressure moving into the Great Lakes, and the counterclockwise flow around the center, will begin to draw warmer, wetter air into the region from the south and west. And that will boost humidity and increase our chances for showers and thunderstorms into the 30-40 percent range for the rest of the week and into the weekend. Temperatures will rise, too, reaching the 80s by Friday. 

But then we knew the fabulous weather we enjoyed over the weekend couldn't last, right? What a great weekend for baseball, and what great baseball it was.
