NYC Quiet Week Ahead Amidst Brief Cold Taste
Good morning everyone. We’re waking up to full sunshine this morning and steady westerlies after an interesting system yesterday deposited 1-3″ of snow throughout the area. Cold air was stubborn yesterday, holding on just long enough to give some spots an extra 1″ before letting go quickly, and changing everything to rain. Now we enter a very quiet week, with cold air moving in temporarily.
SATELLITE
For those experiencing any extra clouds this morning, that will all give way to full sunshine and an increasing westerly flow. Look for a stiff wind developing, and early highs in the 40’s will sink into the 30’s before sunset. Overnight, we dip into the low 20’s, with some teens N&W of the NYC area.
REGIONAL RADAR
Martin Luther King day tomorrow is looking sunny, cold, and a stiff NW flow. Highs will only reach the upper 20’s to low 30’s in most spots. We’ll have near 20 degree temps as lows, and we’ll rinse and repeat on Tuesday with a carbon copy day and night, but lighter winds.
LOCAL RADAR NEW YORK CITY
On Wednesday, we begin to slowly modify and return to near-normal temps. A few extra clouds will dot the sky, and we’ll have highs in the upper 30’s to near 40.
Thursday we head into the low to mid 40’s as our next system arrives, and that’ll be our next rain-maker for late Friday into Saturday.
LOCAL RADAR PHILADELPHIA
As of now, our look ahead remains snow-hostile even with this pattern change. Colder air is available and storms are digging into the south further, but the jet stream is a little wonky in terms of steering our systems. We’ll continue to watch the Gulf for any action, because that’s where I think we have the best chance to source any hypothetical snowstorm during this period. So far nothing though, stay tuned…..
