High pressure builds into Quebec making for more quiet and drier weather as we get into the Sunday. As high pressure builds and the storm departs over the Atlantic, the forecast area becomes sandwiched in between, allowing the pressure gradient to tighten. This results in some breezy winds out of the NW at around 10-15 mph gusting into the 20′s. We can expect decreasing clouds through Sunday morning with some partly cloudy skies through the afternoon and evening. Highs are expected to reach the mid to upper 30′s north and touching the lower 40′s Downeast.
