Summer Warmth & T-Storms Possible Late Week in the Northeast

/by

Finally, a nice warmer stretch of weather is upon us! A developing storm system that will bring some severe weather with perhaps some tornadoes, over the Plains, during the next few days, will cause strong ridging to build over the Ohio and Tennessee Valleys and then into the Northeast US, for rest of this week. More sunshine and westerly downsloping winds will help temperatures rise into the middle to upper 70s this afternoon. Skies will remain mostly clear tonight with the ridge axis over the region. It will be a warm, comfortable Spring evening. Then during the overnight hours, temperatures will drop into the lower 60s over New York City and urban areas, while lows will be in the mid-upper 50s, over many of the suburbs.

/1 Comment/by

Happy Sunday! On Saturday afternoon and night, a cold front associated with an upper-level low came through the region with some showers and thunderstorms in the local region. This cold front has since moved well offshore with some clearing today. But some cooler and unsettled weather is likely, for the next couple days, as the upper-level low and begins to cut-off and slow down over the Northeast. Then a major warm up with more summer-like temperatures is still expected during the middle to later part of this week. We discuss more details for the forecast for this coming up!

Heavy Rain & T-Storms Late Tonight into Wednesday, Warmer Times Ahead?

/by
We have had some very nice weather, since the weekend in the Northeast. Plenty of sunshine with temperatures a little cool but overall closer to seasonal levels. But some very wet weather is on the way for tonight and tomorrow, before weather pattern begins improving again for the rest of this week and into the upcoming weekend. Then finally, a warming trend with some more summer-like temperatures will be occurring next week and as move into first few days of May.
Backing up to today, sunshine this morning will give way more cloudiness this afternoon, as a cut-off low over the Tennessee Valley this morning begins moving slowly northeast. Onshore easterly winds and cloud cover, ahead of this system will keep high temperatures a little cooler today—in the middle to upper 50s near the coast. But further inland temperatures will likely get into the 60s again this afternoon. Then rain will overspread the region from southwest to northeast tonight, as the cut-low begins interacting with shortwave energy coming out the Great Lakes and moves closer to region. Temperatures will likely remain warmer in the upper 40s to middle 50s with more onshore winds and cloud cover.

Dreary Today, Pleasant Weekend Weather, Another Storm Possible Next Week

Good morning! Overall today will be dreary, with mostly cloudy skies and some rain and drizzle at times throughout the day. A batch of steadier rain this morning is associated with some with frontogenetic  forcing that is now shifting further northeast into New England. Some wet snow and sleet has also mixed in at times over far northern interior locations, such as Northeast PA, the Lower Hudson Valley and Connecticut this morning. Some light accumulations have occurred on some colder surfaces, but most roads are remaining just wet with temperatures above freezing.
