Flip . It is known for that. It will show a deep system and then a ridge of High Pressure. For what it is worth, the canadian and european show lower pressure and rain on the forecast. It is too far out to finetune it for now. Maybe the ridge wont hold for as long. But it will for the weekend. Kenwood had half an inch of rain.
