Today
We’re watching
low-pressure slowly exiting the region. Today will be seasonably cool with just
a chance for isolated rain showers. High pressure is setting up overhead. But its stay will be brief
for today we’re going to see clearing develop west to east. We do have low
pressure approaching the Great Lakes and Midwest. The leading warm front could bring showers
into western parts of the region tonight. Ahead of that approaching Canadian cold front,
those northern higher elevation areas could see some snow or snow/rain mix during
the overnight.
The rest
of the week.
The warm
front will continue to advance through the region tomorrow; gusty southwest winds will bring in milder
air. Wind gust of 20-25 mph will be possible. Those in Pennsylvania, Maryland,
Delaware and NYC into New England, will see only a chance for a few isolated
rain showers. But the farther north you are the greater your chance of seeing rain.
With the frontal passage, northern Pennsylvania,
New York State and Northern and Central New England can expect scattered rain
showers and some downpours along with isolated thunderstorms. These storms will
have the potential to become strong to severe. The greatest risk will be
damaging winds, but there is also a very slight tornado risk. The
Storm Prediction Center has a Moderate Risk for Severe Storms over western into central New
York State.
For our
Wednesday, the cold front will continue to drop south through the region keeping
things unsettled across New York State and northern/central New England, widely
scattered rain showers will be dropping through Pennsylvania, Maryland,
Delaware, and New Jersey. Then the front will move back north. Then on Thursday
high pressure will build in overhead. Providing clearer skies with seasonable temperatures.
Then Friday will bring the chance for widespread wet weather. We’re going to see a cold front move through
on Friday, ushering in colder air for the weekend. The front will bring
widespread rain showers and gusty winds along with the chance for isolated
thunderstorms. With the cold air moving in, accumulating snow is likely for the
Tug Hill, Adirondacks, Greens, and Whites along the northern Maine (especially Aroostook
County) for Friday night into Saturday. but even the lower elevations may see
some snowflakes Friday night into Saturday.
