Thundery Showery NYC Day Today 80’s Arrive This Week
Good late morning everyone. Our cut-off low is finally on the move (albeit very slowly), and we will slowly start crawling out of this maritime flow over the course of the next few days. In its place, warm air will begin to make its way in as promised, but it took some time to get here due to Arthur and the unforeseen mechanics it brought with it.
SATELLITE
Look for cloudy skies, humid conditions, and mid 60’s today. A little convection has gotten going with the help of low pressure creating some lift in the atmosphere. That’ll equate to thundershowers today, but nothing severe.
REGIONAL RADAR
Clouds will stick around tomorrow morning, then things begin to start clearing slowly. We’re still under that maritime influence, but it’ll be dry at least. Expect mid to upper 60’s, and late blue patches.
Memorial Day on Monday is looking very seasonal, but it remains a non-beach day in terms of swimming. Rip tides may persist with that prolonged easterly fetch, and highs along the immediate shore will be in the mid to upper 60’s. Away from the coast, most will enjoy low to mid 70’s with clouds and sun.
LOCAL RADAR NEW YORK CITY
Things really begin to turnaround on Tuesday as warm air begins to push in. Again, it’ll be cooler at the coast, but most spots away from the immediate shore will see upper 70’s to low 80’s.
Wednesday has the potential to be warmer if we get more sunshine, and humidity will be on the increase as well. We’ll call for 80+, and we may see some mid 80 hits, especially interior Queens and downtown Brooklyn.
LOCAL RADAR PHILADELPHIA
We’ll keep the near 80 to possibly mid 80’s rocking all the way to next Saturday, then a brief cool down is expected for a few days. Even so, low to mid 70’s replace the 60’s we’ve been having when things cool down.
In the long range, we could get very warm to possibly even relatively hot towards the end of the first week of June. We won’t call it yet, but there is a chance for mid to upper 80’s during that period. We’ll break it all down next week, and see how long the cool down lasts after our first extended bout of 80 degree weather.
