Unsettled weather hangs on before the weekend
It has been an uncharacteristically cool week — at least for the standards of May. It has also been an uncharacteristically wet week. After the driest May on record at multiple reporting stations in our area, this week featured rainfall amounts of 2 to 3 inches in many areas. Some received upward of 4 inches in Northeast New Jersey. The main story over the next few days won’t necessarily be widespread heavy rain, but it will be a continuation of unsettled weather.
An onshore flow, owing to a persistent and weakening mid level low over the Mid Atlantic States, will continue to promote the intrusion of a marine airmass from much of the Mid Atlantic into the Northeast. While some areas to the north and south of this persistent east/southeast onshore flow will see pleasant weather on Thursday, the unfortunate fact is that our area won’t be one of them.
