Gusty Storms Likely For Northeast Possible For NYC
Good late morning everyone. We’re keeping a close eye on any prospects for strong to severe weather in the Northeast, and the possibility for some of that energy to reach down to the NYC/Long Island area. Meanwhile, we’ll catch a short break for a couple of days before more heavy rain and wind heads in Sunday night and Monday.
SATELLITE
A compact but vigorous area of low pressure is heading to our north along northern NYS, close to the Canadian border. Most of the energy will go to our north as far as the energy needed for severe weather, but we are on the tail end of that energy and need to keep a close eye.
Look for spotty heavy/gusty showers ahead of these spokes of energy that’ll come through, and then the chance of gusty showers and storms later this afternoon/evening. The biggest threat for us will be those winds, and add localized flooding/small hail to areas upstate. Highs near 60 today.
REGIONAL RADAR
We clear everything out tomorrow, but the winds stick around as low pressure wraps up before pulling away. Expect more clouds than sun, with more breaks developing before sunset. Highs will be in the mid 50’s.
LOCAL RADAR NEW YORK CITY
Mid 50’s continue for Saturday under mostly sunny skies, then we start increasing clouds Sunday with highs near 60.
LOCAL RADAR PHILADELPHIA
A pretty strong low pressure system is heading our way for Sunday night into Monday, and once again, it’ll be going well to our west and north. That’ll increase the SSW fetch to give us some on and off windswept rain Sunday night into Monday, and we could see some localized flooding in poor drainage areas. Depending on the timing of the front, a muggy, cloudy mid 60’s are possible Monday, but we’ll have to wait and see on that.
