Beautiful warm weather overall this weekend, scattered storms possible late Sunday and Monday

/1 Comment/by

Happy Saturday! High pressure will continue to provide partly to mostly sunny skies today. Temperatures will be a little cooler than on Friday. But it will still be warm this afternoon with highs reaching the lower to middle 70s throughout much of the New Jersey and New York City area. Winds will be mostly light out the north and west during the day. This will allow for sea-breezes to develop this afternoon, which may keep Long Island and shore areas from rising out of the upper 60s. But overall it will be a beautiful day for the entire region.

This weather is generally expected to persist today, but it will be particularly cool this morning. Bring a jacket and an umbrella along with you.

NYC Area Forecast: Strong storms possible today, cooler weekend

/0 Comments/by

Heat and humidity are expected to reach a relative peak today in the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast states, with rising dew points and temperatures leading to oppressive Heat Index values once again. The National Weather Service has extended the Heat Advisory (which was already in place) into Thursday evening, with Heat Index Values expected to rise near 100 F in many areas from New Jersey into the NYC Metro Area and Connecticut.

As you may be aware, the Heat Index value is a function of both temperature and dew point, and although temperatures will reach the lower 90’s later today the main story will be the dew points. They’ll rise well into the 70’s, which will leave the airmass feeling hot, thick and sticky. It will also be unstable as a result, and with a frontal boundary approaching during the afternoon, the instability will serve as fuel for the development of thunderstorms.
