Today

We have that high pressure that is starting to push east. We also have an area of low pressure to our north in Canada. This will bring heavier cloudiness across New York State and New England, with scattered clouds across Pennsylvania into the Middle Atlantic. The disturbance will bring isolated to scattered steadier rain across northern New York State into northern New England, today into this evening. The farther north you are the better your chance of seeing any of this rain. Temperatures are slightly above average across the region.  That frontal boundary over Maine is going to push back north as a warm front tonight, taking any remaining rain showers with it.

The tranquil conditions across the Middle Atlantic and southern Pennsylvania extend into the Ohio Valley. We do see the system over the upper Midwest, the leading warm front will be approaching us tonight, and move across the region tomorrow.

For the rest of the week

The warm front will be lifting through. Allowing record to near record warmth, along with a lot of sunshine. With the front rain will return and move west to east starting in the late afternoon or evening for western parts of our region. The rain will continue to advance west to east into central New York State and central Pennsylvania; the rain will continue to push east into Thursday morning for New England and the Middle Atlantic.  Rain will be tapering off west to east later in the day into Wednesday night.

Then on Thursday the trailing cold front will move through bringing gusty winds and more rain. It looks like this cold front will stall over New England back down through the Middle Atlantic, So the eastern half of our region will see rain continue throughout Friday into Saturday morning. We going to see an area of low pressure develop along the frontal boundary The closer to the coast you are the more rain you will see. On Sunday clearing will be developing across southern New England, southern New York State, Pennsylvania and the Middle Atlantic. But a disturbance in Canada, will bring rain across northern New York State and northern New England and the chance for higher elevation snow showers, this will be especially true of the Adirondacks, Greens and Whites.

Rain amounts for the 2nd half of this week look to be generally 0.50 to 1.0 inches with localized amount of 2 to perhaps 3 inches possible. Many parts of the region have gone weeks without measurable rain, so this rain is much needed.  There is the possibility for low area and street flooding across parts of the Middle Atlantic into New England.



Monday will see another frontal boundary move through, with low pressure developing along it off the coast.  This coastal low looks to stay far enough off shore to keep most of the region fairly dry, but on Tuesday there could be rain from it impacting eastern New England.

The 2026 Atlantic hurricane season is nearing the finish line. We will have to see if this coastal low pressure can acquire some tropical characteristics.
