.DISCUSSION...
A broad, slow moving upper level low will continue to spin over New
England today, producing occasional rain across the region. The
upper level low will finally make some progress moving east into the
Canadian Maritimes tonight, with showers tapering off overnight.

Great Lakes. High pressure will then bring mainly dry and somewhat
warmer weather for Memorial Day.
