More Severe Weather Possible In The Area This Evening
Good morning everyone. Parts of the NYC metro had a rough evening yesterday, with damaging winds, large hail, and the possibility that a weak rain-wrapped tornado or microburst moved through. The hardest hit, were parts of Staten Island, Brooklyn, and Queens, while other areas just saw some heavy rain and a nice light show.
This time around, Long Island could get in on the action, and the direction of approach may lead to less or no weakening as they cross the area.
SATELLITE
Expect clouds and sun today and another hot one for the area. We’ll have muggy conditions and highs in the 90-95 realm once again. That will provide the fuel for another approaching front, but the energy will be coming down from the NNW as apposed to our west like last night.
This typically leads to less weakening as storms cross the warm Long Island Sound, and may be provide a little octane once any potential line hits solid land again along the north shore of Queens, Nassau, and Suffolk. We’ll be keeping a close eye on the radar to see what forms and where they’re heading. Anything that does form will once again be capable of damaging winds, large hail, torrential rain, frequent lightning, and an isolated tornado.
REGIONAL RADAR
We’ll keep the chance of an isolated storm in the area for tomorrow, but the action will be few and far between compared to today and yesterday. It’ll still be hot, and most of the area should see near 90 or low 90 temps.
LOCAL RADAR NEW YORK CITY
We dry out on Saturday humidity-wise, but lack of wind may help get us to near 90 again. It’ll be more comfortable due to the absence of muggy conditions. We’ll see upper 80’s at minimum as opposed to a more seasonal forecast we expected yesterday with the hopes of some sort of breeze.
On Sunday, hot conditions return and the humidity creeps up slightly. Look for low to mid 90’s across the area under sunny skies.
LOCAL RADAR PHILADELPHIA
90+ degree weather continues into next week under increasingly muggy conditions. As far as the tropical are concerned, Gonzalo begins its long trek towards the Caribbean and possibly into the Gulf over the course of the next 7-10 days; and we’re also watching a compact depression in the Gulf that may become Tropical Storm Hanna before it hits the coast of Texas. The biggest threat from the depression or Hanna, will be copious amounts of rain and flash flooding.
MANY THANKS TO TROPICAL TIDBITS FOR THE USE OF MAPS
Please note that with regards to any tropical storms or hurricanes, should a storm be threatening, please consult your local National Weather Service office or your local government officials about what action you should be taking to protect life and property.
