Stormy end of the week!

 

The pattern

Looking at the 300mb pattern over the northern hemisphere we can see the Jet Stream is very wavy. This is going to cause this up and down temperature pattern to continue for the foreseeable future.  The pattern looks to keep the threat for steep ridges in the west and deep troughs in the east. A few days ago, I talked about the high pressure in the Atlantic. The Bermuda High circulation pattern directed into the Gulf, looks to keep injecting tropical moisture into the Pattern over the CONUS.  With this constant wave train working west to east, will keep the threat for severe weather over the Plaines, Midwest into the East. This overall pattern looks to in place for the rest of June and will likely extend through July into August.

We have a system out in the Midwest that is going to be moving over the lower Great Lakes into the Saint Lawrence Valley on Tuesday and Wednesday we will see a warm front lifting in from the Ohio Valley. Ahead of the front on Tuesday, temperatures will be noticeable warmer, with increased dewpoints.  Western parts of the region will have the chance for isolated showers Tuesday afternoon and evening.

On Wednesday high pressure will be pushing east with the front will be moving across the region, allowing for hot conditions with scattered rain showers and thunderstorms across Pennsylvania, New York State during the day, with the warm front moving into New England Wednesday evening/night. The thunderstorms could become strong to severe Wednesday afternoon and evening across parts of New York State and Pennsylvania. The unsettled pattern will continue for Thursday into Friday, with Maryland Delaware, New Jersey into New England having a better chance for rain showers and thunderstorms on Thursday, again some of these storms could be severe.  Both Thursday and Friday are going to be hot and very humid.

For Friday a cold front will be approaching. This will kick off more rain showers and thunderstorms. These thunderstorms could once again be strong to severe. The hot temperatures will ease a bit over the weekend, but it’s still going to feel quite warm and humid. With the chance for pop up showers and thunderstorms.

 

That’s it for today!
