Snow Haters Rejoice As Medium Range Pattern Goes Hostile
Good morning everyone. Aside from some lingering clouds today, we have a dry and sunny week. That’ll transfer all the way into the weekend as high pressure digs in well to our north, with a few weak low pressures meandering around it helping to push everything well to our south.
We call that a “blocking” pattern, which is what many snow lovers look for. However, sometimes it doesn’t work in your favor, and this is one of those times.
SATELLITE
Clouds stick around today as departing low pressure spins back some low to mid-level clouds through New England and into the Northeast. We won’t have any precip though, and we’ll remain dry throughout the day. Expect highs in the low 40’s for a seasonably cool day.
Seasonably cool weather continues throughout the week, but the sunshine returns in full force tomorrow. Expect sunny skies and low 40’s tomorrow through Friday. For Friday, we might see a few upper 30’s away from the City as that high pressure builds in a little deeper.
That high pressure digging in will help suppress the next system well to our south, and a coastal low will scoot out to see off of Cape Hatteras. That will translate into a seasonably cold and dry weekend, with sunny skies and highs in the 35-40 range both Saturday and Sunday.
As of now, that medium range isn’t looking very promising for snow. Cold enough air is in place, but it’s going to be tough to get low pressure moving much further north than Maryland. We’ll see if things relax a bit, but typically when they do relax, it relaxes too much and you’ll get low pressure moving inland or over the area.
Stay tuned.
