Increased humidity, severe storms this weekend
Low clouds have created a bit of a wrinkle in the forecast early Friday morning, owing to a southeasterly flow which developed late Thursday night. The low level inversion allowed for these clouds to push inland and develop, as seen on visible satellite imagery from Eastern Pennsylvania into much of New Jersey and New York. These clouds will eventually thin and break later Friday afternoon, as southwesterly winds take over.
Temperatures, as a result, will rebound with highs expected to reach into the upper 80’s. Rising humidity will also make it feel much more uncomfortable. The atmosphere won’t be able to efficiently mix out — so temperatures won’t rise into the 90’s on Friday and seabreezes may develop. These seabreeze boundaries could serve as a focal point for the development of some isolated storms Friday afternoon.
HRRR model forecasting highs in the 90’s away from the coast on Friday, with cooler air near the shore.
