 Fall like weather continues.

Looking at the current US surface chart we can see the cold front working its way across the  Northeast into  New England.  Extending all the way down into the Southeast US

The North American charts Show high pressure in the north pacific And that low pressure up over Alaska into the arctic Looking at the 500 millibar chart we can see that extensive High pressure ridge in the west and the troughing here in the east behind this cold front.

The atmosphere pattern over North America is showing the influence from this developing la Nina.

This chilly pattern looks to last for at least a couple of weeks. As we have more cool fall like temperatures poised to drop south and east into the region. I talked about this in yesterday's post on the fall and winter prospects. I hope all y 'all had a chance to look it over.

What about this week:

Radar shows scattered rain showers over New York State and New England, as yesterday's heavy weather and thunderstorms that many of us experienced yesterday and last night heads east ahead of the cold front. The satellite image shows the clouds ahead of the cold front with clearing developing behind it.

Today we'll see Seasonal temperatures with a chance for scattered spotty showers. Today will likely be the warmest day of the week. Over the next couple of days we are going to see a series of weak little troughs move through the region. Bringing the risk for isolated rain showers and perhaps a few thunderstorms every day especially during the afternoon into the evening. By Wednesday temperatures should be slightly below average to below average across the entire region. Lake Effect rain showers will also be an issue downwind of the Great Lakes for Tuesday into Wednesday.

Thursday will have high pressure overhead So it should be mainly a dry day but can't rule out a few spotty showers here and there. Friday a cold front will move across the region bringing scattered thunder scattered rain showers and isolated thunderstorms to the region. Then for the weekend and labor day Monday we look to have high pressure sitting overhead with  mostly clear skies and mostly dry weather with extremely low humidity. The cold front will have reinforced the cold air over the region.

So all in all not that bad of a weather pattern for the week.

I wish you all a great day!
