NYC Weather Update – Aug 22, 2016

The weather headline this week will be spotless summer weather, with no rain in the forecast for the next week or so. Temperatures will start off on the refreshing side in the low-80s and gradually warm up, but not into excessive warmth. Also with relatively low humidity, it will feel quite comfortable.

Rest of today – breezy with northwest winds in the 20-25mph range. This northwest flow is typical after the passage of a cold front, which occurred yesterday. This will keep temperatures on the cooler side, with highs only expected to be around 80ºF and mostly sunny skies.

Tuesday – much less windy, with sunny skies and a high around 80ºF. The main driver for our weather this week will be a strong high pressure center, which will be parked pretty much right over us. This will prevent any warm, humid air from the south from entering into the area – the opposite effect of a Bermuda high.

Wednesday – warmer, with high temperatures around 85ºF and sunny skies.

Thursday – essentially the same as Wednesday, high around 85ºF and sunny.

NYC New Years Weekend Weather Update – Dec 31, 2015

The New Year will finally bring some more seasonable weather to the region as temperatures dip in response to a building area of high pressure and west-northwest winds over the weekend. It will be an uneventful weekend otherwise, with generally dry conditions.

Rest of today – mostly cloudy to partly sunny with high temperatures around 50ºF. For New Year’s Eve celebrations tonight, temperatures will drop rather quickly into the low-40s by midnight.

Friday (New Years Day) – cool, though still above normal with high temperatures in the low-40s and sunny skies.

Saturday – cool and dry conditions prevail with high temperatures again in the low-40s. Overnight lows will be in the low-30s.
