Coastal storm departs, beautiful weather returns
Our products are a bit late this morning (forgive us, we spent the night at Derek Jeter’s last game at Yankee Stadium) — but they won’t come without any good news! The coastal storm system which marred yesterdays weather, bringing widespread rain and clouds, is shifting well to the northeast of the area this morning. Taking over in its wake are northerly winds, drier air, and a beautiful autumn airmass. Temperatures today will climb into the mid to upper 70’s still, but will feel perfectly comfortable as humidity values drop and moisture moves seaward, associated with the coastal storm.
The best news of all, however, is the fact that this weather looks to continue into early next week. In fact, airmass modification will allow temperatures to climb into the upper 70’s to low 80’s on both Saturday and Sunday with a tremendous amount of sunshine. Dry offshore winds will keep away any marine influence, as well, so the weather really will be exceedingly pleasant. The mid level ridging will keep this pattern in place through the early part of next week.
