NYC Active Pattern Continues With Rain Returning Midweek
03/25/24 8:47am ET
Good morning everyone. Our powerful system departing the East Coast via Canada continues to cause issues as far as coastal flooding from the Mid-Atlantic into New England, while yet another system begins to take shape in the Midwest. This is the active pattern we’ve been talking about, and we’ll go over all of the features as one system leaves and another arrives.
The 1980’s are returning, with powerful storms repeatedly firing up over some of the most notorious areas seen in decade’s past. System after system, reaching back all the way to the beginning of winter, continues to bring an enhanced severe weather risk across the Central, Gulf, and Southeast states. Today, we’ll watch a fierce winter storm in western sections of the upper plains, create enough contrast by tapping some Gulf moisture, and spark off a narrow line of severe weather.
We’re already seeing hat line develop in central and eastern Texas, on into Arkansas and Mississippi; and we’ll watch that line march ENE while growing ESE. The biggest risk of tornadic storms will be parts of Louisiana, Mississippi, and Alabama, but we can’t rule out the risk of large hail and isolated tornadoes stretching from Illinois on south, into Kentucky, Tennessee, and parts of Georgia. The time frame for today looks to be afternoon into the overnight hours, then that threat will march into the Southeast tomorrow AM. This will be a quick moving line once it all gets going, then we will watch moisture get hung up in the Southeast and northeast Gulf; setting things up for the Northeast Wednesday and Thursday.
Another wave of low pressure is set to form in the Southeast/along the Gulf, then head up the East Coast. This time, we’re not looking at anything as powerful. However, low pressure will deepen before it exits and moves into Canada, giving New England a nice windy, rainy, and snowy exit. As far as what’s going on right now, a return flow from our strong late-season storm, continues to pile water into the Mid-Atlantic, Northeast, and New England. For this reason, we continue to have coastal flood watches and warnings for the hide dude cycles until things begin to settle down late tomorrow.
Here is your local NYC Metro forecast –
SATELLITE
Coastal flood watches remain in effect for flood prone areas of the NYC Metro area/Tri-State area coast due to our full moon and return flow from our departing storm. It’ll be a breezy and cool one today, with steady 15mph winds and high near 50.
Clouds increase tomorrow ahead of our new system, but we will remain dry throughout the day. Highs near 50 again.
WEATHER RADAR
Gloom & doom return on Wednesday in the form of light rain, fog, an increasing breeze, and highs near 50 again. Rain grows steadier Wednesday night into Thursday, with some moderate rain possible at times. Highs near 50.
Cloud decrease on Friday, but it’ll be breezy and cool with guess what? Highs near 50 once again.
March came in light a lion and exits like a lion, with a reinforcing shot of chilly air for Saturday and Sunday. Look for clouds and sun Saturday, with the slight chance of a few sprinkles. Highs 50-55 early, then dropping and becoming windy. It’ll be windy and chilly on Sunday, and we’ll be lucky to make it to 50, but we might not.
