NYC Long Range Outlook Into Early May

NYC Long Range Outlook Into Early May

Good morning everyone. Clouds remain in the picture is a big area of low pressure wraps up in the Great Lakes region. As expected yesterday, most of that rain is going well north and west of the NYC Metro Area, but we do still have a few isolated showers out and about. This low pressure system is a good example of what the end of April/early May could look like if this type of pattern locks in for a little while.

As gloomy as it looks this morning, we could see some clouds and sunshine before sunset occurs this evening. Scattered showers will clear out, and we’ll have highs in the mid to upper 60’s.

Tomorrow is pleasant with clouds and sun, highs 55-60.

WEATHER RADAR

Temperatures modify a bit more on Wednesday, with full sunshine and highs 60-65. Milder air creeps in on Thursday with 70-75 degree temps and continued sunshine. The mildest/warmest day of the week is Friday ahead of our approaching front. We’ll have more sunshine and highs 75-80 (cooler at the shore).

Our weekend is a split decision with clouds creeping in and the chance of some scattered showers each day. Saturday is the mildest with highs 70-75, then we sink into the low to mid 60 range for Sunday.

In the long the range, the pattern is trying to send wide-ranging low pressure systems into the upper Midwest/Great Lakes Region consecutively over the course of the next few weeks. We get a break after this current one, but 2-3 more similar to it will try and make the trek. Depending on the timing, this could give us “struggling” temps in the upper 50’s to mid 60’s to round out April and enter May. Nothing is written in stone yet, but this is the time of year where we begin to look for the cut-off low that gets stuck in the region, tamping down temps and giving us extra clouds/cool conditions.
