NYC Thanksgiving Chill Coming
Good morning everyone. Steady rain is starting to come to an end in the NYC area, but we still have a long way to go as far as clouds and drizzle today. Tomorrow is looking much better, and our next system mid-week promises to set NYC up for a Thanksgiving chill that may or may not affect the parade balloon-wise.
SATELLITE
Even though steady rain has ended, today will not be a nice day. Clouds will linger as low pressure is slow to pull out. Wrap-around moisture back in PA will keep the prospect of drizzle and scattered light rain in the forecast throughout the day. highs today in the mid to upper 40’s and raw.
Overnight, we begin to clear out, but it’ll be blustery. Lows in the mid to upper 30’s in NYC proper, and upper 20’s to low 30’s away from the NYC area.
REGIONAL RADAR
Winds will calm down for tomorrow, and sunny skies will rule. We’ll actually have a nice, comfortable, seasonal day tomorrow, with winds subsiding more and more as the day goes on, and highs near 50.
Tuesday remains the best day as we go milder and remain dry. Expect sunny skies in the AM, then a mix of sun and clouds late. Highs in the mid to upper 50’s.
LOCAL RADAR NEW YORK CITY
Wednesday will be our transition day as our next system arrives. We could see a few blue patches in the morning, then clouds will lower and thicken. We’ll have the chance of afternoon showers, and will be on the warm side of this system. Look for highs in the upper 50’s to near 60.
LOCAL RADAR PHILADELPHIA
With that front passing through late Wednesday/Wednesday night, colder air will rush in for Thanksgiving, as well as blustery conditions. The typical wind limits for these balloons are 23mph sustained to ground them. As for now, I’ll say they’ll fly, but may be kept lower than usual. Highs Thursday will be in the low to mid 40’s with sunny skies, but in the 30’s for the parade start.
