Weak high pressure will support improved weather across the 
western counties today...but showers will persist for areas east of 
Lake Ontario. A wave of low pressure riding up along a slow moving 
frontal boundary will then guarantee another unpleasant day across 
all of the region for Friday in the form of widespread showers...if 
not a few hours of steady rain. While fair dry weather will be 
featured for the upcoming weekend...some nuisance showers will be 
possible Saturday afternoon.
