AFTER A SUMMER LIKE START, TEMPS RETURN TO NORMAL MAY LEVELS


THREAT OF HEAVY RAINS FOR FRIDAY AND FRIDAY NIGHT
The area should remain basically rain-free through Tuesday night. However, clouds will remain dominant on Tuesday. Temps will hit their high mark for the day on Tuesday in the morning, then begin to level off or even fall somewhat during the day; a wind shift from the off of the cool Atlantic will be the culprit, along with a nearby warm front. A risk of showers will be confined to areas well west of NYC during the day, then increase to all areas as Tuesday night progresses. Rain amounts will remain rather light overall through mid-week.

The aforementioned warm front won’t be able to move northward on Wednesday. Therefore, easterly wind flow will prevail, keeping our temps cool. Plenty of clouds will persist as well during the mid-week period, but chances for rain will be scattered in nature during the day for Wednesday and Thursday. The best shot at any organized rainfall would be Wednesday night in the form of light rain as the warm front goes by from south to north.
By Thursday, our temps rebound back to above normal levels. As the warm front crosses our region, winds shift back to the south. Any breaks of clouds would send temps soaring well into the 70s to near 80.

NOAA: Highs for Thursday

By Friday into Friday night, attention will turn to yet another front crossing the mid-west and ever so slowly moving through the region. Heavy rain will be a problem for Friday during the day into a portion of the night before it ends. The potential is good for a solid 1-2 inch rainfall through Friday night before we return to a drier pattern for much of the remainder of the weekend.
