Fast Rainy Pattern Continues With Brief May Break Possible
Good morning everyone. We’re having a tough time getting some breathing room in between systems here, and it seems as if this pattern continues through mid May at least. There’s the slight chance we could get a 3-5 day break in between raindrops with some milder air mixed in IF the right ingredients come into place, but those ingredients don’t seem strong enough to slow down the general pattern going down the road.
SATELLITE
Look for blue skies today as clouds dot the skies. It’ll be chilly and breezy out there with highs 8-10 degrees below average and in the low 50’s.
Clouds increase once again tomorrow after some AM sun, and we could see some rain by sunset. Highs chilly to cool once again and in the mid 50’s. Steadier rain moves in overnight tomorrow, and a NE breeze increases as our moisture-laden system begins to organize better.
REGIONAL RADAR
Rain continues into Friday, heavy at times, with localized flooding possible in poor drainage areas. It’ll be breezy & raw with highs in the mid 50’s and a stiff NE wind.
LOCAL RADAR NEW YORK CITY
We play the game once again with clearing skies Saturday, seasonably cool temps, breezy conditions, and highs in the upper 50’s. However, clouds increase late for our next system hot on the heels of Friday’s.
Rain moves back in on Sunday with rainy, breezy, and raw conditions. That may spill into Monday with some morning rain.
LOCAL RADAR PHILADELPHIA
Overall, this pattern is very dominant and doesn’t want to break. A cut-off low hanging back with Sunday/Monday’s system won’t be cut off enough to drastically change anything. We could still catch a break the first weekend in May, but even if we do see a window of drier and more mild weather, the pattern looks to resume with more fast moving systems and rain.
