Summer Barges In Like Kramer In Seinfeld
Good morning everyone. The door slams open and in walks summer like a rude but somewhat welcomed guest. Low pressure has fizzled out, finally allowing the dam to break on warm air and a more seasonally-expected SSW flow in the the mid-Atlantic and Northeast. As we heat up, an expected cold front passes through some time on Wednesday, but I don’t think it does much to cool us off. In fact, very warm to hot weather may be here to stay until we start start July before the chance of any relief.
SATELLITE
Clouds and sun will be the name of the game from today through Monday, with varying amounts of warmth, but equal parts humidity. Look for the chance of a shower or thunderstorm each day and anything we do get may be on the heavy side rain-wise due to the moisture-laden atmosphere.
Today, expect those cloud & sun conditions, slight chance of a shower or storm, and highs a humid 75-80.
REGIONAL RADAR
Your first summer weekend starts off summery and tropical. We’ll again have a mix of sun & clouds, slight chance of a heavy shower or storm, highs a humid upper 70’s to low 80’s.
LOCAL RADAR NEW YORK CITY
Monday will be when the very warm to hot air breaks out, but we’ll still have a chance of a shower or storm. We’ll have highs in the 85-90 range, then upper 80’s to low 90’s both Tuesday and Wednesday.
That cold front moves through some time on Wednesday, but I think a light NW flow keeps the heat in. Sinking air and slightly drier air will help boost the temps to near 90 Thursday and Friday, then a southerly flow returns next Saturday and Sunday with increasing humidity.
LOCAL RADAR PHILADELPHIA
I think this cycle keeps going until a maritime flow tries to fight back to start July. It might not play out, so I’m not calling the ball on that yet, but I do think we see some 90-95 degree weather during or after next weekend and before July 1st.
Either way, summer is here and it’s arriving on schedule this year.
