NYC Weather Update – Nov 30, 2015

Freezing Rain, NYC, Rain, Weather Update, , , , , , , ,

We start this week off with cool, but slightly above average temperatures in the upper-40s to around 50ºF. A warm up occurs midweek along with a passing frontal system, then a return back to seasonably cool temperatures takes place to end the week.

Rest of today – increasingly cloudy with high temperatures peaking in the mid-upper 40s.

Tuesday – a warm front approaching from the south will provide for an increasing chance of rain tonight into early Tuesday. Temperatures in some inland areas may support a brief period of freezing rain before transition to all rain occurs early in the morning. Temperatures should reach around 50ºF with periods of light rain.

Wednesday – temperatures will warm into the mid-upper 50s by Wednesday following the passage of the aforementioned warm front and prior to the passage of a cold front. Rain continues in periods throughout the day and begins to taper off late Wednesday going into the overnight hours.

Thursday – once the cold front dives through, winds pick up from the northwest again, and drive temperatures down into the upper-40s to near 50ºF Thursday. Expecting dry and mostly sunny conditions otherwise.

Thanksgiving has given us some spectacular weather to be grateful for, but a cool down is in the cards for the region as we enter this weekend. A cold front will be pushing through the area slowly Saturday, bringing some rain, then colder temperatures as cooler air from Canada filters in behind the front. By Monday, high temperatures will only be in the upper-40s.

Rest of today – increasing clouds later today, but for the rest of the afternoon, warm with record-breaking high temperatures in the low-mid 60s.

Saturday – rain likely later in the day, cloudy with cooler temperatures in the mid-50s.noaad2

Sunday – a lingering chance of showers with mostly cloudy skies and a high near 50ºF.

Monday – cooler, but dry, with temperatures only in the upper-40s.

Periods of rain this afternoon give way to drier weather over the weekend as a cold front passes through late today into the overnight hours. Drier weather prevails this weekend, though with the passage of this cold front, gusty northwest winds will enter the region, bringing in significantly cooler temperatures for Saturday. Temperatures rebound Sunday as we enter another period of slightly above normal temperatures.

Rest of today – showers have moved out of the area at this point, but a few scattered showers may still pop up later today. Otherwise, cloudy with high temperatures already peaking around 60.

Friday – mostly sunny with winds from the west in the 15-20mph range, gusts up to 30mph.

Saturday – winds again in the 15-20mph range with gusts up to 30-35mph. Sunny skies, but temperatures well below normal in the upper-40s, highs may not break 50 in the city. With the winds, it will feel like temperatures are in the upper-30s to low-40s.

Sunday – winds finally start subsiding, and temperatures will rebound back to around normal in the mid-50s with sunny skies.

Monday – as the high pressure depicted above begins moving to our east, southwest flow on its backside will bring temperatures back into the low-60s.

 

NYC Weather Update – Nov 9, 2015

NYC, Rain, Storms, Weather Update, , , , , , ,

We have a fairly active weather week ahead of us, with two separate chances for rain coming from two different storms, the first of which impacts the area tomorrow and tomorrow night. The second storm system to affect us this week will make its passage on Thursday. Temperatures are much more seasonable this week with high temperatures hovering near 60 for most of the week.

Rest of today – mostly sunny with a high near 60 degrees.

Tuesday – a low pressure center over the Gulf coast today will strengthen into a coastal low as it tracks to our south and east Tuesday and Tuesday night. Like most coastal lows of this type, a large shield of overrunning precipitation will advance ahead of the actual low. This should translate to a rainy day Tuesday, with steady chances for precipitation throughout the course of the day and into the overnight hours. An east wind will also bring a cool, onshore breeze into the area, giving the day a raw feel despite high temperatures near 60.

Wednesday (Veterans Day) – looks to be bookended by wet weather, but should be a mostly dry day with more clouds than sun, and a high again near 60.

Thursday – a cold front associated with a low pressure system that’s currently over the plains will bring about our second chance for rain this week, although this round of rain should not be as long-lived or drenching as tomorrow’s storm. High temperatures should remain around 60.

NYC Weekend Weather – Nov 5, 2015

NYC, Rain, Weather Update, Weekend, , , , , , ,

The warm trend we’ve enjoyed this week comes to an abrupt halt over the weekend as we return to seasonable highs in the upper-50s. We are due to enjoy a couple more days of much above average warmth beforehand, as we’re now in the warm sector south of a warm front that has pushed through and west of a cold front due in late Friday and into the overnight hours Saturday.

Rest of today – mostly cloudy with a high in the upper-60s. A slight chance of rain especially later in the afternoon.

Friday – we’ll be firmly within the warm sector tomorrow with a steady southwesterly flow. Warm air will work its way into the area and yield near record-breaking temperatures in the mid-70s, and possibly even warmer if there are any breaks for sun. There will be another chance at rain tomorrow afternoon and evening as the cold front nears and passes through.  noaad2

Saturday – a marked change in sensible weather is on tap for Saturday once the cold front passes through the region. Skies should clear from west to east over the day, but high temperatures will only be in the low-60s.

Sunday – even cooler, with highs only in the mid-50s under sunny skies.

NYC Weather Update – Nov 2, 2015

It’s the first week of November, but it will feel more like late September with the warm temperatures that are on tap for this week. A robust ridge of high pressure will set up over the area and persist through most of the week, allowing for a very mild airmass to build into the region and set the stage for some unseasonable warmth.

Rest of today – cloudy with high temperatures in the mid-60s.

Tuesday – clouds clear out with high temperatures warming into the low-70s.

Wednesday – warm temperatures continue with highs around 70 and sunny skies.

Thursday – more clouds than sun, but warm again with a high near 70.

The weather story this week will feature a storm system that will be drawing on the remnant moisture from Hurricane Patricia and producing some heavy rain on Wednesday as it passes through the region. Aside from a wet day Wednesday, the remainder of the week looks to be dry with decently warm temperatures.

Rest of today – clear with high temperatures near 60.

Tuesday – mostly sunny with clouds increasing later in the day. High temperatures again near 60.

Wednesday – a low pressure center is expected to form over the Great Lakes region and strengthen Wednesday. A warm front attached to this low pressure center will pass through the region late Wednesday. Increasing chance for more widespread rain as the day progresses with a high temperature in the mid-60s. Some urban flooding could occur. Most of the heaviest rain will likely be falling in the late evening and overnight hours.gfs_namer_054_1000_850_thick

Thursday – could see a few showers in the morning, but then skies should begin to clear and allow for temperatures to warm up into the mid-60s again before a cold front drops through.

 

Drought Update

We’re hoping for the rains Wednesday to make a dent in the stubborn moderate drought that continues to cling to the metro area, in particular Long Island.

NYC Weather Update – Oct 19, 2015

Weather Update, , ,

This weekend featured much below normal temperatures for this time of year and several rounds of frosts/hard freezes. The frigid airmass responsible for these temperatures will finally be pushed north of the area tomorrow as high pressure builds over the Southeastern United States. Return flow from the south and southwest around this area of high pressure should lead to temperatures that will be in the normal to above normal range for the majority of this week.

Rest of today – still chilly today with high temperatures only topping out around 50 in the city and cooler in the surrounding suburbs under mostly clear skies.

Tuesday – clockwise flow around an area of high pressure building to our south will enable southwesterly and westerly winds to usher in a much warmer airmass into the region. Temperatures should rebound nicely tomorrow into the mid-upper 60s in the city with partly sunny skies.

Wednesday – the warm trend continues, with temperatures Wednesday expected to be similar if not even a couple degrees warmer in the low-70s.

Thursday – a cold front will be approaching from the northwest on Thursday, so clouds are expected to increase ahead of it, though no rain is expected at this time. Prior to the passage of this cold front, temperatures should remain warm in the upper-60s to near 70 again.

The three day weekend ahead will feature some idyllic autumn weather with plenty of sun for outdoor activities if you’re heading out of town on a getaway. The only blemish in this otherwise stretch of superb weather will be a round of showers and thunderstorms entering the city Friday afternoon and passing through Friday night.

Rest of today – we’re starting off with mostly cloudy skies, but skies should clear rapidly within the next couple hours. After that, we get a mostly sunny afternoon with high temperatures near 70. Clouds re-enter the picture later this evening in advance of an approaching disturbance that will bring us rain on Friday.

Friday – overnight tonight, a warm front will push through the area, such that by Friday morning, winds will switch to the southwest. This will allow for warm air to surge up ahead of a cold front that will be passing through Friday night. This setup is favorable for the possible development of thunderstorms ahead of the cold front. Chances for rain increase steadily Friday into Friday night. Otherwise, mostly cloudy skies with high temperatures in the upper-70s to near 80.

Saturday – the cold front moves quickly through the area Friday and by Saturday, skies should clear up, while temperatures cool off into the mid-60s.

Sunday – another picture perfect autumn day with high temperatures in the mid-60s and ample sunshine.

Monday (Columbus Day) – stretch of nice weather continues into Columbus Day, with temperatures slightly warmer in the upper-60s to around 70.

Drought Update

The drenching rains two weeks ago helped alleviate drought conditions over large portions of the Northeast. However, moderate drought conditions stubbornly persist in the NYC metro area, especially in Long Island.

Tuesday – warmer, with high temperatures around 70. High pressure building from the west should lead to mostly sunny skies.noaad2
