NYC RAIN LATE SUNDAY INTO MONDAY
Good morning everyone, hopefully everyone had a good holiday. We begin to pivot towards looking into the meat and potatoes of winter for the NYC area, but for now, there’s a lot of space in between systems and rain is the name of the game when we do get one. This doesn’t mean winter is over, we essentially have 12 weeks of watching and waiting.
SATELLITE
Clouds and fog have rolled into the area as that milder airmass begins to make its way in. It won’t be mild today, but we should see a mix of sun and clouds later on. Highs in the mid 40’s.
Clouds return tomorrow with a front going to our north. We’ll have the slight chance of some sprinkles, but they will be widely scattered in nature. We’ll be milder tomorrow and in the upper 40’s to low 50’s.
REGIONAL RADAR
Saturday remains the nicest day of the week with sun returning once again. We’ll be into the mild air and 50-55 degree temps will dominate.
50-55 temps return for Sunday, but clouds begin to roll in with our next system, and we’ll have the chance of rain late Sunday afternoon/evening. The steadiest rain will occur overnight Sunday, and we’ll keep rain in the forecast into Monday.
LOCAL RADAR NEW YORK CITY
To start next week, rain sticks around Monday morning, then we should see partial clearing. Highs Monday again in the 50-55 range, then we’ll begin to cool down.
New Years Eve Day will be near-average and breezy, with highs in the low to mid 40’s. For the celebration at night, expect 20’s and breezy conditions, with wind chills possibly in the teens.
LOCAL RADAR PHILADELPHIA
For the moment, things remain quiet as far as major snowstorms. As stated a couple of weeks ago in the long range, we have to wait and see what’s behind these systems as far as lagging energy to our southwest. That would be our only chance at something; if a system passes, cold air heads in, but lagging energy behind gets drawn up into the area. We shall see, but right now there’s nothing.
