Tuesday weather update

 

The surface/radar chart show high pressure overhead and dry conditions. The satellite shows clear skies with lots of sunshine across the region.

Today will be seasonally cool with very low humidity.  Tomorrow will be mirroring image of today, but temperatures might be a bit warmer. Thursday will see the high start to push to the east; but we will still stay dry.  With the high pushing east, a southern flow, will allow temperatures to climb to seasonal levels.  During the next few nights, with mostly clear skies, nighttime lows will be very chilly.

Friday into the weekend…

On Friday we will watch a frontal system push into the Great Lakes. Ahead of the attached cold front, temperatures will continue to rise across the region. As this cold front gets closer Friday night, rain showers will start to move into western parts of the region.  There will also be a coastal low coming up the Coast. Right now, the timing of the front, looks to keep this off the coast.  The cold front will continue to push slowly across the region on Saturday, reaching eastern New York State and eastern Pennsylvania later in the day on Saturday into Saturday evening. The front will be moving over the Middle Atlantic and New England Saturday night into Sunday morning. The front looks to be pushing into the Gulf of Maine by Sunday afternoon.

Over the Weekend, the front will bring widespread rain and scattered thunderstorms. A few of these storms could be strong to severe, with gusty winds, frequent lightning, and locally heavy downpours. Saturday night and Sunday winds will become a bit gusty. As the cooler air moves over the Great Lakes lake effect rain showers will be possible downwind of Lake Erie and Lake Ontario. 

Monday and Tuesday, high pressure once again will be over the region. temperatures will be cooler, a trough near by could cause a few isolated showers.
