Today

High pressure is over the region providing tranquil weather, temperatures today will be warmer than they have been the last few days. The region should stay dry today; but we do have a couple of slow-moving cold fronts approaching from the west-northwest.

 

Rest of the week

The first weak cold front will move into New York State during the overnight into tomorrow morning, it will bring a few scattered showers into the western and northern tier of the State. But the rest of the region should stay dry. The front will wash out, leading to everyone seeing dry conditions by the afternoon.  As the high-pressure shifts to the east, the winds will be from the southwest tomorrow as a warm front lifts into the region. Winds will be a bit breezy generally 10-20 mph with gust of 25 to 30 mph. Temperatures for Thursday afternoon into Friday will feel summer like.

 

For Friday a more meaningful cold front will drop in generally moving northwest to southeast. Rain will move into western and northern New York State Friday morning; moving into northern New England and northern and western Pennsylvania later in the morning into the afternoon. As the rain pushes into southern New England, rest of Pennsylvania and Maryland, Delaware, and New Jersey Friday night, conditions north and west of there will be improving by the evening.  As the front moves through the region rain will start off as scattered, but then it will become more widespread and steadier at times north to south.

The front should be off the New England and Middle Atlantic Coast on Saturday morning with the rest of the front stalling out south of the Mason Dixon Line.  High pressure will build in providing more sun but cooler conditions.  Sunday will see the high-pressure shift into the Gulf of Maine, that stationary front could bump a little further north on Sunday allowing some showers into Maryland, Delaware, southern New Jersey and maybe southern Pennsylvania Sunday morning.  Also, on Sunday a disturbance in Canada, will have a moisture starved cold front dropping into New York State and Northern New England late Sunday and night. The cold front will continue to drop through the region on Monday, with the chance for isolated to scattered rain showers. High pressure moves in overhead for Tuesday and Wednesday.

 The Atlantic

After playing on again/off again hide and seek for 10 days, Fay is finally gone. Hanna is now post tropical and should dissipate.

While the Atlantic will return to its normal quiet state over the next week, The Gulf could see something develop in a week or so. I guess we will see!

 

I hope you enjoyed the winter outlook
