High pressure will continue to dominate our weather on Easter with plenty of sunshine and seasonable temperatures. High pressure will build off the New England Coast Sunday afternoon, inducing a sea breeze that will keep temperatures a few degrees cooler than inland areas. Highs will be near or just over 60 inland, but will only reach the lower 50s along the shoreline.
A southwest wind will become more prevalent on Monday, thus transporting warmer air across inland Connecticut when temperatures may approach 70 degrees. A cold front will cross the Northeast Tuesday night with a band of showers followed by clearing and cooler temperatures by Wednesday and Thursday. Temperatures will warm a bit, approaching 70 by the end of the workweek, before another cold front with showers moves in by next Saturday.
