Warm and mostly dry conditions continue to dominate much of our sensible weather. While the 4th of July looks to stay relatively dry for our area, warmer temps and more humid conditions are likely. Finally, unsettled conditions are likely to produce widespread showers and thunderstorms by Saturday.
Hot, but mostly calm conditions remain in place across much of the Northeast today. Things may “spark up” a bit tomorrow afternoon with the development of strong to potentially severe thunderstorms.
When it gets cooler and more unsettled, remember this beautiful stretch of weather! It’s another beauty so far today, and temperatures will continue to climb quite a bit in the Northeast states – well into the 90’s with an increasing southwest flow.
Weak seabreezes should keep areas near the shore a bit cooler today, which is typical for this time of year, especially with a southerly wind component. A weak cold front associated with upper level trough will drop slowly the northwest later this afternoon and evening.
Good morning! Happy Tuesday! Today will be hot and humid for much of the Northeast, as a Bermuda-type high pressure sets up off over the Atlantic. Some areas of patchy fog will burn off early this morning. Then partly to mostly sunny skies with southwest winds are expected for the rest of the day. Temperatures will rise in the upper 80s to middle 90s this afternoon. Temperatures will be little cooler with sea-breezes closer to the shores. High humidity with some dewpoints in the low to mid 70s, will support heat index values in the upper 90s to lower 100s. Particularly over I-95 corridor between New York City and Philadelphia, where heat advisories are in affect for today.
But this oppressive heat and humidity will be short-lived as a strong cold front and upper-level trough will be approaching from the Great Lakes today. Moderate to strong instability will be building with more daytime heating and more tropical moisture streaming northward. This could support some isolated showers and thunderstorm to develop anywhere and anytime during the today. However, more widespread showers and strong-severe thunderstorms are likely over Interior parts of New York and Pennsylvania this afternoon, as more dynamics with the cold front moves into those parts of the Northeast initially.
