New York City Long Range Shows August Much Different From July
Good afternoon everyone. After a very hot July, we begin to switch gears for a fairly impressive pattern change during the month of August. While there is plenty of hot weather left to experience for the NYC area, we’re going to speed up the systems to a rate that’s typically seen in late August/early September. The origins of these air masses air going to be similar as well, so expect some very pleasantly warm conditions in between the very warm/hot and humid air.
In the short range, we have a very quiet week aside from Friday. Also, we have a few comfortably warm days here and there, which will mirror what a decent percentage of August will be like.
SATELLITE
For today, expect a mix of cobalt skies and a few clouds here and there. we’ll have highs in the low to mid 80’s, and the very slight chance of a shower or storm. Most of that action will be in the interior sections of the Northeast.
Tomorrow is sunny and comfortably warm, with relatively low humidity and highs in the low 80’s.
WEATHER RADAR
We keep the good stuff coming, with more sunshine Wednesday and Thursday and highs in the low 80’s for the most part. Thursday could be slightly more humid, but the real humidity creeps in on Friday.
Friday looks like a mix of sun and clouds with highs in the low to mid 80’s. The air will be juicier, and we’ll have the chance of some heavy PM storms.
That’ll clear the way for a beautiful weekend under sunshines and highs in the low to mid 80’s for both Saturday and Sunday.
Our long range continues to look interesting as the core of the nations heats gets suppressed into the Southeast and the mid to lower Midwest. That will allow a majority of 80-85 degree weather into the Northeast as a whole. There will be some opportunities for some hot weather, but most of it looks to be front-related and then we go comfortably warm again.
While August does look more comfortable, there are 2 caveats. The first will be tropical activity and the Southeast/Gulf coast. A flattened out/elongated ridge protects that Northeast, but puts the Southeast in the bullseye in regards to any hypothetical tropical activity.
It could also equate to an above average September in the Northeast as far as warmth. In my experience, 70% of the time, the heat fights back late and could prolong summer conditions. There’s also that 30% where we swing into fall smoothly, but we’re too far out to tell.
