After a gloomy and damp finish to the work week, a nice weekend looks to be in store for the Northeast. A strong area of low pressure just off the East Coast will slowly trek east and further out into the Atlantic. As this happens, a drier weather pattern will take over for the next few days along the I-95 corridor. However, before we get to the forecast, let's take a look at some climatology for the area. Here are the normal high and low temperatures for this first weekend of April.
| Average High | Average Low | |
| Boston | 52 | 37 |
| Hartford | 56 | 35 |
| New York City | 57 | 41 |
| Philadelphia | 60 | 41 |
| Baltimore | 61 | 40 |
| Washington, DC | 63 | 44 |
So, with average highs in the 50s and 60s, we just need some sunshine... now for the weekend. Well, it looks like Mother Nature will meet us half way. Sunshine will be a bit limited over the weekend as we will be in between systems, but for the most part, it will be dry. We can't rule out a passing sprinkle on Saturday as some moisture stays trapped in the lowest levels of the atmosphere. This is mainly due to our ocean storm that will be so slow to exit east and into the open Atlantic. However, despite the clouds, Saturday afternoon will be pleasant (except for a few colder spots in New England). Here is a look at forecast temperatures for 2 PM Saturday.

Looking ahead to Sunday, high pressure will briefly build across the Northeast. This should lend to a bit more sunshine compared to Saturday and warmer weather will then be the end result. Here is a look at forecast temperatures for 2 PM Sunday.
