The storm system for the end of the week is taking shape; the models are coming into better agreement and as such, are pointing to a wet Friday before things start to clear out Saturday. The idea of the storm lagging behind for much of the weekend is being discounted now, as enough of a push upstream will allow for slow clearing through Saturday and Sunday.
NOAA POPS FRIDAY
Rainfall on Friday looks to be widespread and long-lasting. The higher amounts look to fall north and west of NYC, where over two inches of rainfall can materialize. However, most areas look to receive half that much, with generally around an inch of rain expected at this time. The long duration of the rainfall will mitigate the prospect of any urban flooding.
As discussed earlier, since the Friday freeze-out, this is a somewhat mild pattern overall.
INTELLICAST TEMPS NEXT SEVEN DAYS
The first part of October ran behind the normal monthly level for Central Park, but has since rebounded. Based on the data, we should anticipate that these types of fairly seasonable – and sometimes milder readings -- will persist into much of next week.

However, waiting in the wings is a very robust cold pocket, which will make inroads into the western states next week. This air mass will likely spread out (albeit slowly) and threaten to reach our area by the last week of October.
oh good, no slickers and boots for Saturday's wedding
