Today
Temperatures
a cooler and humidity are lower across New York State and New England as well
as northern Pennsylvania, but the rest of Pennsylvania central and southern New
Jersey are still seeing some humidity with warmer temperatures. The satellite
shows north of southern Pennsylvania is seeing quite a bit of Sun, but southern
Pennsylvania, Maryland, Delaware and New Jersey are seeing more clouds than Sun.
As the 2nd
cold front drops in from the north, those temperatures and humidity will drop
as drier air moves in. These cooler and dry conditions

The second
cold front is part of a trough that is dropping into the region. This trough is
going to interact with the warm humid air associated with the Southeast ridge
extending into the Tennessee River Valley.
High
pressure is building in and will be setting over the region on Saturday. Leading
to plenty of sun and below average temperatures. That will change come Saturday
night and Sunday, as a warm front lifts in bringing widespread scattered
showers and some thunderstorms, this will be a soaking rain which parts of the
region need very badly. Pennsylvania and
New York State will likely be dealing with rain on Saturday night, with the
rest of the region seeing the rain on Sunday.
We’re going to have high pressure shift into the Gulf of Maine, sitting over southeastern Canada. So, the front will stall over the region, meaning cloudy skies and periods of rain for our Sunday. Rain will be heavy at times, as the two air masses duke it out.
We can see that on the 850mb temperature anomaly from Tropical Tidbits.
The first
cold front has dropped through the region with the 2nd one poised to
drop through today.
That area of
high pressure will set up an atmospheric block, which will bottle up the flow. So,
we going to be dealing a stationary boundary for Monday and Tuesday, keeping
things unsettled. Then for Wednesday and Thursday a cold front associated with
another trough; that will keep it unsettled with scattered showers and cooler
than average temperatures for Wednesday and Thursday. Low pressure with another cold front will move
through on Friday, this will mean periods of rain, heavy at times for Friday.
