An unsettled week is in store for us after a spectacular stretch of warm, sunny conditions this past weekend. The good news is, it looks as though the pattern of rain during the week, but clearing and warm weekends is set to continue.

Tuesday – a high pressure center over New England will swing a backdoor cold front through tomorrow. This will lead to a chance of showers during the afternoon hours, with cloudy conditions otherwise and highs in the mid-upper 70s.

Wednesday – essentially a repeat of Tuesday in terms of sensible weather. A stationary front will sit just south of NYC and allow for an increasing chance of showers and possibly a few scattered thunderstorms. Temperatures will be in the same range as Tuesday.

Thursday will probably bring the best chance of significant showers and thunderstorms coming ahead of an approaching warm front. Cloudy again, with a chance of showers and thunderstorms throughout the day, and a high in the upper 70s.Friday – the warm front mentioned above will slowly progress through the area during the day Friday, once again bringing a chance for showers and thunderstorms, with mostly cloudy skies and highs once again in the upper 70s.

High pressure finally builds in during the day Saturday, which should lead to diminishing clouds, eventually mostly sunny skies for the rest of the weekend, and warmer temperatures in the low 80s.
