This is
going to be a very short post.
Surface
Chart, Radar and Satellite.
We’re still dealing with that pesky upper-level low centered near Long Island. It shows up very well on Satellite.
The surface
low pressure is slowly sliding north and east, tracking into and through the
southern Gulf of Maine today and tonight. The combination of these two will
keep us under cloudy skies with the chance for some scattered showers and
possibly a few thunderstorms throughout the day. While sporadic burst of moderate
to heavy rain are possible, most showers should be fairly light, lasting for
10-20 minutes. That complex of storms rotating around the heat dome, should stay to our west. The temperatures will remain
on the cool side, with them running slightly to below average for the end of
July. Severe weather is not likely across the region but any thunderstorms that
develop will likely produce heavy rainfall. Keeping the threat for localized flash
flooding in the forecast.
The bulk of
the impressive rain is generally behind us. But, not before some areas picked up several
inches of rain Tuesday and Wednesday. Here’s a look at the estimated rainfall
over the last 48 hours.
Shower
chances will linger into Friday, this will be especially true across eastern
New York State, New Jersey and New England, mainly during the morning as the
low slowly moves to our east. We’re going to have a warm front moving across
the region. This will allow temperatures to become a bit warmer.
The weekend shouldn’t be too bad, with only a chance for a few scattered showers, of the two days Saturday will be the better of the two. Some showers and thunderstorms return Sunday ahead of another cold front. The cold front will move into and across the region Sunday night and Monday. The front will bring rain showers and non-severe thunderstorms. This cold front looks to stall just south of the Mason Dixon Line on Tuesday. We’re going to see a couple waves of low pressure move along the boundary, bringing the chance for scattered rain showers and thunderstorms for Pennsylvania and the Northern Middle Atlantic. For Wednesday another area of low pressure moves through with scattered rain showers across the region. The trough will hang around for Thursday, keeping things unsettled.
