Saturday Overview: Chilly Weather Today…Milder on Sunday

A colder airmass settled over the region, as expected overnight and this morning. But this airmass will be already on it way out this afternoon, as the pattern remains quite progressive. After quite a cold start with most of the area dropping into the 30s and some upper 20s, temperatures will rise into the upper 40s or lower 50s with plenty of sunshine this afternoon. Which is still chilly and somewhat below normal for November 12th. Strong and large high pressure centered over Ohio Valley will keep skies free today of much cloud cover through tonight.

Mostly clear skies and light winds will lead to more radiational cooling tonight. Especially for the suburbs, where lows will bottom upper 20s to middle 30s. Closer to NYC and urban areas lows will be upper 30s to lower 40s. On Sunday, more southwest winds with high pressure shifting south of the region, will support warmer high temperatures in upper 50s to lower 60s during the afternoon. More sunshine and dry weather will dominate throughout the day.  It should feel more pleasant than today! Some more highlights for early next week:

PM Update: Increasing clouds, becoming milder

Low clouds and fog were the main story early on Monday morning, with plenty of areas reporting low visibility. The cloudiness also kept temperatures a bit cooler to start. But by Monday afternoon, the low clouds had lifted and most areas were reporting sunshine. Temperatures warmed into the upper 40’s to near 50, which felt especially refreshing after several days of cold weather. The warmth will continue to slowly build this week.

However, with the building warmth will come a variable increase in cloudiness. With a weak storm system offshore, low clouds will increase again early from late Monday night into early Tuesday morning, with the potential for fog in the morning once again. Temperatures are expected to top out in the 50’s — but not until the late afternoon when the clouds burn off a bit.
