Today

Today is going to be a near perfect weather day. There will be plenty of sunshine, along with comfortable temperatures and humidity levels.  So, enjoy your cookouts and all of your Labor Day plans.

The rest of the week

With the exception of a few showers across the far Northern parts of the region, Tuesday will be a near copy of today with a mostly dry day and a mix of sun and clouds.

Wednesday that high pressure dome will have expanded across the southern Plains into the Southeast. Then we’re going to have a large area of low-pressure scoot across southern Canada toward Quebec. The cold approaching cold front will be slowing down and likely become quasi-stationary.  The high pressure will be slipping off the coast. Out ahead of the front, the southwest flow will allow temperatures and dew points to start increasing, along with the chance of showers and storms. Isolated rain showers could reach western and parts of northern New York State and northern New England on Wednesday afternoon. As that cold front gets closer, more in the way of significant rain and scattered thunderstorms will be likely across New York State, and northern and central New England New England on Wednesday night into Thursday, for northern parts of the region this will be a soaking rain, and good news for those areas needing the rain. That northwest flow associated with the front, could set off a few stronger thunderstorms.

As the front continues to slowly drop south and east on Thursday, it will weaken, as the front drops into southern New England the rest of Pennsylvania, Maryland Delaware and New Jersey, it could wash out. Allowing any scattered rain showers to become more isolated. There will be the chance for a few isolated thunderstorms as well.  The rain won’t amount to all that much, so the areas under the front, won’t see much in the way of beneficial rain.  By Friday the front should have pushed to our south.  Behind it fall like temperatures and lower humidity will setup. Daytime temperatures will be slightly below average to average for this point in September, and the nights will be very cool. With high pressure over the region, we should see a mix of sun and clouds and mainly dry conditions for Friday into the weekend.

Don’t let the cool fall weather fool you, I don’t think we’re done with shots of warmer weather along with the chance for severe weather days.
