2/23 AM All Zones: Morning Clouds & Fog, Then More Warmth This Afternoon
Some low clouds and patchy, dense fog this morning should gradually clear out for more sunshine this afternoon. An unseasonably warm airmass will still be over the region, Southwest winds will help temperatures rise well into mid-upper 60s over much of New Jersey, Lower Hudson Valley and immediate NYC metro area by mid-late afternoon. Temperatures might be cooler in the mid-upper 50s to lower 60s in more coastal areas like Long Island and Connecticut coast, with winds more ocean keeping more low clouds and fog linger into the afternoon hours.
AM All Zones Update: Clouds Today, More Rain by Tuesday, Another Storm Midweek?
Today will be mostly cloudy, as a weak frontal boundary moves through region. A few light snow showers, flurries or sprinkles are possible, during the day today. But these aren’t expected to amount to much, with warmer temperatures. Temperatures with southwesterly winds will be rising into upper 30s to near 40 over the Interior to lower to middle 40s today along the coast this afternoon.
High pressure begins build over the region, with drier northwest winds tonight. This lead clearing skies and overnight low temperatures in the middle 20s to lower 30s, from the interior to coastal areas. Tomorrow skies will be mostly sunny with high pressure in control. A slightly colder air mass form the north will keep upper 30s to lower 40s around the region tomorrow.
PM Update: Increasing clouds, unsettled weather returns
So, we lucked out on Wednesday. A very weak mid level ridge and transition between disturbances allowed for pleasant conditions and high pressure. Temperatures fell several degrees from the past few days, but more notably, so did the humidity. Highs in the upper 70’s and lower 80’s were commonplace throughout the area Wednesday afternoon. Partly cloudy skies brought pleasant conditions as well, with a light breeze. It was, by all means, a winner of a day.
The same won’t be true for Thursday. Beginning tonight, high clouds will stream in as a disturbance approaches from the Ohio Valley. Moisture will return to the air and showers will be possible as early as overnight Wednesday. With the increased moisture, showers, and clouds, will come high temperatures only int he 70’s on Thursday. No severe weather threat is anticipated, with cooler more stable air in place throughout the area.
