PM Update: Cooler behind front, pleasant Halloween

October 29, 2015/by John Homenuk

Warm and moist air, which settled into the region on Wednesday Night, has been scoured out thanks to a cold frontal passage on Thursday afternoon. Sunny and warm conditions prevailed, thanks to lingering warm air near the surface, but temperatures in both the mid and low levels of the atmosphere will cool further overnight. Westerly winds took over for the southerly winds which had dominated beforehand, and will help to usher in the cooler airmass.

This trend will continue through Friday, with cooler air arriving throughout the Northeast United States. Highs will be several degrees colder than they were on Thursday. The air will feel crisp and, well, Autumn-like, with high temperatures topping out in the mid to upper 50’s with a westerly wind component.

Pleasant, seasonable weather will return this week

After a tumultuous series of events last week, including the potential for Hurricane Joaquin to significantly impact our area, this week is sure to feel extra-relaxing, especially for meteorologists. While the impacts of Joaquin remained mostly here-say, the intricacies of how close the storm really was to impacting the East Coast has left meteorologists breathing a sigh of relief.

Luckily, the week looks likely to feature much more pleasant and quiet weather. Although we didn’t totally escape impacts from the anomalous pattern (See: Dangerous coastal and tidal flooding over the past several days), the upcoming one will be much quieter as a whole. High pressure will build in, with seasonable temperatures continuing. Precipitation is expected to stay out of the forecast until the latter half of the week.

Afternoon Roundup: Ridiculously pleasant weather

While the eyes of many have been focused on Tropical Storm Erika (and rightfully so), the weather in our local area has taken a turn for the better over the last 24 hours. Behind a cold front which moved through the area earlier this week, the airmass has undergone a dramatic change. The departing moisture and humidity has given way to comfortable air, plenty of sun, and a lovely breeze. High temperatures are still reaching into the lower 80’s, keeping things pleasantly warm as well. The trend will continue through the next few days as high pressure remains firmly in control.

Morning Roundup: Cooler, pleasant, sunny

July 22, 2015/by John Homenuk

Much cooler, more pleasant, and enjoyable weather is finally here! After several days of humid and very hot weather with unsettled weather, a cold front moved through on Tuesday evening. While showers and thunderstorms were not numerous, they were present. In fact, storms dropped hail and caused isolated wind damage in parts of Southeast New York as they moved through an unstable atmosphere during the mid evening hours. This morning, the humidity and oppressive airmass is long gone.

Today will be a true winner of a day, when it comes to summer weather. High pressure is settling in, bringing with it a northwesterly breeze and much cooler air aloft. At the surface, the air will still warm into the middle 80’s during the day under full sunshine. It is hard to get a day like this in the middle of July, but it looks like we will run off a string of them over the next few days. You won’t find us complaining about that! Some weather highlights:

Smoke from a brush fire in North Brunswick can be seen extending more than 100 miles into the Atlantic Ocean early this morning.
High temperatures will still reach into the 80’s today with plenty of sun. This will make for a warm, pleasant and dry day with low humidity.
There are zero hazards on our client-based hazards briefing for the next 8 days. This is the first time this has happened since last Spring. That noise you heard? It’s a sigh of relief from our forecasting team.
