RAW NYC DAY TODAY PLUS LONG RANGE OUTLOOK
Good late morning everyone. Stubborn low pressure hanging around in the Northeast has given the New York City area an extra bonus day of raw, cloudy, and drizzly weather. Meanwhile, enough cold air has filtered down to give higher elevations upstate some spring snows; very common this time of year in the Poconos and Adirondacks. Our long range is also discussed today, and I continue to see no prolonged blocks of warm air OR cold air.
EASTERN SATELLITE
Clouds stick around today with on and off drizzle. We may make it to near 50 today, but it won’t feel like it with a stiff, cool flow and gusty winds at times.
Winds actually increase tonight as the low departs and pressure gradient takes hold with incoming high pressure. Expect westerlies overnight 15-25mph sustained and gusts to near 40. A windy night, yes, but not cataclysmic.
REGIONAL RADAR
Windy and cool conditions continue tomorrow, but at least the sun returns. Look for sun and clouds in the morning, then gradual clearing. We might actually get near 50 tomorrow, which is a few degrees warmer than previously expected, but the winds will dash any hope of feeling mild on the skin. We keep those 15-25 mph winds, and gusts 35-40. However, winds will begin to settle down by evening and overnight will be replaced with a steady breeze.
Sunday continues to look beautiful, with sunny skies, relatively light winds (slightly breezier at the immediate coast), and highs 55-60 for most of the area. As stated yesterday, the best chance to see near 60 or a touch beyond, will be downtown Brooklyn and interior Queens.
LOCAL RADAR NEW YORK CITY
The timing of our next system is slightly sped up and that’ll impact how high we go on Monday temp-wise. What was supposed to be a cloudy version of Sunday and just as mild, will be one that includes a chance of some light showers during the peak heating hours of the day. This will hold temps in the low 50’s if everything holds true.
Just as we’ve had all season, colder temps return the following day for Tuesday, with low to mid 40’s in most areas, then we slowly modify Wednesday and beyond. It’ll be a slow climb as we remain in the 45-50 range for Wednesday, then break out into average temps once again for late week. I also continue to see a lack of any major spring snowstorms or historic events for the NYC & Long Island area.
LOCAL RADAR PHILADELPHIA
In the long range, I continue to see opportunities for some front-related mildness just as we have on Sunday and possibly late next week/early next weekend. However, I don’t see any breaks as far as the Pacific jet deriving our pattern. This means relatively fast moving systems (even though things are slowing down slightly), and quick shots of both cool air, mild air, and a couple of days of average temps in between.
Again, if timed right, we could see a 65-70 degree day here and there, but they will be short-lived. All in all, we are looking very average for this time of year and nothing insane going on in either direction.
