Sunny days and cool nights continue!

This will give a brief look at the upcoming week.

Surface Chart, Radar and Satellite

 



 



Something that is very rare this time of year, we’ve had seven to eight consecutive days of clear skies and dry weather. We’re going to see a few weak disturbances move along the northern jet stream. These will try to drop into the region during the first half of this week. These shortwaves will bring intermixing days of slightly warmer and slightly cooler weather, but it will remain mostly dry across the entire region as this pattern persist.  

We’re going to see a few weak disturbances move thorough the region during the first half of this week. These will bring intermixing days of slightly warmer and slightly cooler weather.

But it stays dry and overall, remarkably warm all week, with temperatures running generally 10 to 15 degrees above what's typical for late October. The overnights will run a bit chilly, but during the day’s temperatures will recover nicely, leading to wonderful afternoons.

Today

The high-pressure overhead is keeping our region dry and sunny; it’s keeping most of the East Coast for Maine to Georgia virtually cloud free.    

For next week

A weak cold moisture starved front will approach for Monday ahead of the front a southwest flow will allow temperatures to become fairly mild.  As the front moves in from the north and west it will be weakening even more and end up washing out. So, except for clouds with only a chance for a few stray showers over northern New York State and northern New England; the vast majority of us will stay dry.

The front will cool us off for Tuesday into Wednesday as high pressure moves back in overhead.  Of the two Tuesday will be the chilliest, so you might need a light jacket, Wednesday will see temperatures trying to recover. Both days will remain dry for the entire region.

Thursday another cold front will approach and move into the region bringing a chance for some rain showers with it. This front is going to end up stalling so other than a chance for a few showers over New York State into northern New England, most of us stay completely dry.

Temperatures are going to become milder ahead of the front with the warming trend continuing into Friday. Friday night and Halloween Saturday will be slightly chilly but once again the region looks to stay dry. So those trick-or-treating can dress warm and have a great evening.

I posted part 2 of the winter outlook yesterday. Make sure you take a look at it, and if you like what you read, pass it on to others.
