NYC Weather Update – Apr 1, 2014

Don’t be fooled by this gorgeous weather today (seriously).

A low pressure system forming in the lee of the Rockies, along with a nearly stationary frontal boundary draping down from a low moving into Canada will result in cloudy to mostly cloudy skies for the remainder of the week. There will be a chance for rain each day through Friday. The best chance for steadier rain will be late in the day Friday through Friday night and perhaps into early Saturday morning. This is associated with another area of surface low pressure and trailing cold front.

Note the frontal boundary draping across the region - this will give us a chance for showers each day Wednesday-Friday.

High temperatures will warm to near 60 Wednesday with a persistent south-southwesterly flow ahead of the aforementioned frontal boundary.

Thursday – with the influence of clouds and possible showery rain, temperatures will most likely hover around the mid 50s.

Friday – rain increasingly likely throughout the day Friday with high temperatures continuing to drop to around 50.

Saturday – temperatures will warm again into the upper 50s ahead of a cold front (and with a warm front forecast to swing through), however, it will be a cloudy day with a diminishing chance of showers through the day.

Sunday – the cold front will have passed through allowing for skies to clear, but temperatures will be cooler in the low 50s with winds from the northwest.

 

Next shot at precipitation comes Monday night into Tuesday with a surface low tracking from the Southeastern US.
