The views have been dropping off lately, is there something I could be doing differently?
We have that
cold front dropping south across Pennsylvania and southern New England, ahead
of the front there will be near to breaking record warmth, behind it’s still
going to be fairly mild. We do have a few scattered showers ahead of and along
the frontal boundary, with some isolated showers behind it. We will have high
pressure set up for tomorrow, providing a dry and tranquil day.
We do have another
system approaching out of the Midwest. A leading warm front will bring another
surge of warmth for Thursday night into Friday morning; with the front there
will be isolated rain showers and a chance for a few thunderstorms. But then
the bottom drops out for Friday and the Weekend. A strong cold front will drop
in for Friday. As strengthening low
pressure moves across the New York State tracking through the St. Lawrence
Valley into Northern New England. Winds will turn out of the north and
northwest. With the cold front scattered
rain showers and thunderstorms are likely, isolated storms could become strong
to severe, with damaging wind gust the main threat.
Those with the greatest risk of seeing the severe storms will be over Southeast Pennsylvania, into New Jersey, Maryland and Delaware.
The Low pressure will move off the Coast where it will continue to deepen. It could end up reaching bombogenesis (bombing out) over the Canadian Maritimes. A storm bombs out when we see a pressure drop of 24+ millibars over a 24-hour period. If this happens, it could generate some very strong wind gust. The biggest wind impacts will be along the immediate coast with wind gust up to 40–50 mph possible with 30–40 mph gust inland. The coldest air so far this season will drop in for Friday night and the Weekend, with temperatures running well below the long-term average. This could be a big snowmaker for parts of eastern Canada. For our region most locations from will get rain and showers. But there will be snowflakes flying across parts of northern New York, Vermont, New Hampshire and Maine.
Friday night
into Saturday morning, rain transitions to wet snow above 1,500 feet across the
Tug Hill, Adirondacks, Green and White Mountains accumulations of 1-3 inches
look likely. The highest elevations in
the mountains could see 3-6 inches of snow, with a rain and wet snow mix
extending down into lower elevation valleys with no real accumulation.
Saturday will be cold with gusty northwest
winds. Wind will be 10-20 mph with gust
looking to be 20-40 mph. the morning will be showery, with rain showers
clearing late morning into the afternoon. These northwest
winds will usher even colder air into the region. Those winds will make it feel
even colder. While the cold temperatures won’t be good for fall colors, the
gusty winds will likely bring down quite a few leaves still on the trees. Then
high pressure will build in bringing plenty of sunshine for Saturday night and
Sunday. Skies will clear leading to a very chilly night. High pressure looks to
be in control for Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday with temperatures slowly
warming each day. The first half of next week looks to be mostly dry.
Have a great day!
