NYC Quiet Week More Wind Rain Possible Late Sunday Monday
Good morning everyone. Our wind has finally settled down and sunshine is in full swing all week with dry conditions. It’ll be a chilly 3 days, but temperatures will begin to modify on Friday, giving us a mild weekend before we watch our next possible system.
That powerful system is long gone, with low pressure well up into the Canadian maritime. However, that trailing cold front lags behind and will return into the Southeast and Gulf as a stationary/warm front. Low pressure along the Gulf is going to try and get going, with energy coming out of the Rockies. We’re expecting some phasing at some point, and we’ll have to see where everything goes.
As of now, the best chance for windswept rain, severe weather, and damaging winds, remains in the Southeast; but the potential is there for the whole thing to slide up the East Coast and give our area another dose of flooding rain and wind.
Since this would be a “Gulf Low” scenario, little to no snow is expected with this system. They are generally very warm in nature, and typically are not big snowmakers during mid-December. Usually you have to wait till January or February to squeeze out some heavy wet snow or mix from a Gulf-sourced low pressure system.
Check out the immediate forecast below –
SATELLITE
Look for light winds and full sunshine today with highs in the low to mid 40’s. We’ll have more of the same tomorrow, then upper 30’s to low 40’s Thursday for a chillier day.
WEATHER RADAR
Friday and Saturday are both winners, with full sunshine and low 50’s for a mild December feel. Look for more low 50’s Sunday with increasing clouds ahead of that next system.
We’ll be watching that next potential system closely and try to hone in on where it’s going and when it arrives (if it arrives).
