High pressure slowly shifts to the south on Thursday. This will end the long stretch of winds out of the northeast. Expect gradually warming temperatures each day through the end of the week.

Stronger high pressure to the north will lead to elevated winds and fewer clouds. High temperatures are still a few degrees below normal for early June. Warmer temperatures are on the way toward the end of the week.
