NYC Weekend Questionable Late October Certainties
Good morning. After a surprisingly rainy Sunday, sunny skies return today with a breezy morning. Our week is looking fairly OK aside from tomorrow afternoon/night, but questions remain about our weekend. The most solid thing we have going here forecast-wise, is around Halloween with our first cold blast (or relatively cold) moving in.
SATELLITE
Sunny skies and a breezy morning will give way to a calmer afternoon. Winds will subside to a steady northerly flow, and we should have highs in the mid 60’s.
Tomorrow, a cold/warm front combo arrives from the west. Most of the energy continues to want to go well to our north, bringing light rain into the area in the afternoon. However, we could see some steadier rain overnight IF a wave develops ahead of the front before moving out. Highs tomorrow in the low 60’s.
REGIONAL RADAR
We bring back the sunshine on Wednesday, but it’ll be a breezy one. Temps won’t be so bad and we should see mid 60’s. In fact, mid 60’s and sunshine rule through Friday, then we watch and see what our weekend system might do.
LOCAL RADAR NEW YORK CITY
For your weekend, we have our typical October setup, with one front heading in from the north, and the southern jet pumping moisture into the southeast. As of now, it doesn’t look like the energy combines, but we have to wait and see how close that energy from the southern jet gets.
That’ll determine what kind of cloud cover we get, and if any precipitation on Saturday. The weaker area of energy to our north may bring a shower or two on Sunday, but the timing is still suspect.
LOCAL RADAR PHILADELPHIA

Aside from the immediate forecast, the only thing that is certain in my mind is the relatively cold blast of air coming for Halloween or at least near Halloween. A relatively strong system will be passing through mid-week next week, and we should get our first taste of frost/freeze conditions overnight, and temps may only range from 45-50 with breezy conditions for a few days.
