NYC APRIL SHOWERS CONTINUE WITH FEW BREAKS

Good morning everyone. For those up early, we have a little bit of sun this morning. We’ll have to take it where we can get it up here in the Northeast, because the system parade continues, although there are a few bright spots in the forecast.

Look for some rays of sun here and there today in between varying layers of clouds and even some fog, especially at the immediate shore. Everything slows down a bit as that stretched out front comes to a grind at the coast. That’ll give us a fairly dry day with the slight chance of a shower at any time; highs in the upper 60’s to low 70’s with the help of that front.

We’ll have the chance of showers and storms at any point overnight, but nothing organized as the bulk of energy now holds off till Saturday. Any showers and storms we do get will be gusty in nature, but nothing insane. The best chance for severe weather will in the Mid-Atlantic region this time around.

A healthy line of showers and storms move through tomorrow. As of now, the timing for the bulk of precipitation looks like late morning through early afternoon. The biggest threat remains gusty winds, and we can also add localized flooding in poor drainage areas. After that initial line, the chance of showers and storms remain throughout the rest of the day as low pressure stalls out in western NY/PA and spins spokes of energy our way. Highs tomorrow in the mid 60’s.

That low pressure will unfortunately get cut off and hamper our Easter Sunday and Monday as well. The chance of showers will be minimal on Sunday, but clouds will surely be around; keeping the sun mitigated to an in and out type deal. On a bright note, we’re not looking at a full washout and a SSW flow will help get us in the mid 60 range. If we can somehow eek out some extra sun, 65-70 isn’t out of the question.

On Monday, the remaining energy from that cut-off low slowly drifts our way. The sun working the atmosphere will help touch off popcorn style showers and storms, much like the snow squalls we get when an upper low lags behind after a Nor’easter. Some of these showers and storms could produce pea-size hail, especially west and north of us. Still though, no washout and we could see a some sun here and there. Plus, we’re still mild and in the upper 60’s to low 70’s.

Tuesday may end of being the best day of this stretch as that energy finally departs, but we could still see some clouds and a parting shower or two. Depending on how much sunshine and how things move along, we could see a 70-75 degree day, but we’ll keep an eye on that.

Mid-week, a weaker system rolls on in and takes it’s time getting out. Again, no washouts and no cold air, but we’ll always have more clouds than sun, and the chance of showers on and off. We’ll remain average to slightly above average temp-wise as this process continues.

The long range remains active as we slowly start to turn the gears towards mid-spring. There is A LOT of warm air available once we get all of this out of the way. The Midwest and Southeast are both warming up every nicely, which typically means we are next as the natural process of our system path and system speed changes.

As stated in previous long range outlooks, we have a good foundation in place for a nice May if things work out right. It won’t be perfect and dry every day, but we are building up to a nice spring breakout; unlike last year where we sputtered and backfired with cool temps and rain into June.
