Quick post for the week ahead
We have a warm front advancing across the region. Temperatures are slightly warmer than yesterday, but humidity is much higher with dew points running from the 60s into the 70s. The front is also bring bringing rain and thunderstorms; a few thunderstorms may become strong to severe. The main risk will be heavy downpours, due to the high humidity. But damaging wind gust, frequent lightning and some hail will also be a concern.
The trailing
cold front will come through this evening into Monday; it will produce waves of
widespread showers and thunderstorms. Clearing
will be developing west to east during the day.
With all the
rain, urban and localized flash flooding is possible.
For Tuesday into
Wednesday, we’re going to be dealing with the trough hanging around, there will
be scattered clouds and the chance for isolated showers
The next
cold front approaches and moves through later Wednesday into Thursday and will
produce scattered showers and thunderstorms. The cold front will be weakening
as it moves toward the Coast. Again, on
Thursday clearing will develop west to east. High pressure out of the Great Lakes, will
move in behind the cold front, producing a rain free Friday with cooler temperatures
and lower humidity.
Interior
parts of the Northeast should stay basically dry on Saturday. But we will have
to see if low pressure develops along the coast. This could bring some rain
into Maryland, Delaware, New Jersey and areas along the Coast.
