An unusually strong “cold air damming” weather pattern with deep high pressure to our north is going to result in well below normal temperatures for the next few days. Winds will become quite noticeable from an east-to-northeast direction and the expected extended period of onshore flow will increase the chance for tidal flooding along coastal sections through the remainder of the week. In addition to the chill down, the pattern remains unsettled with occasional rain today and tonight and showers cannot be ruled out for Wednesday.

The weather remains unsettled today, but not quite as hot as recent days with afternoon highs in the lower 90’s and a chance of PM showers and thunderstorms. A slightly cooler and drier air mass will arrive at mid-week and we’ll be dealing with highs on the 80’s for the late week and weekend.

New England is currently experiencing a “hurricane drought” without having a direct hit in 35 years since Hurricane Bob made landfall in 1991. One of the most destructive and powerful hurricanes in recorded history struck Long Island and New England on this date, September 21, in the year 1938. It was the first major hurricane to strike New England since the year 1869. The storm developed near the Cape Verde Islands on September 9, tracking across the Atlantic and up the Eastern Seaboard. The storm hit Long Island and Southern Connecticut on September 21, moving at a forward speed of 47 mph!
Today marks the 88th anniversary of storm known as "The Great New England Hurricane of 1938" as well as "The Long Island Express" and the "Yankee Clipper". With no warning, the powerful category 3 hurricane (previously a category 5) slammed into Long Island and southern New England causing approximately 682 deaths and massive devastation to coastal cities and became the most destructive storm to strike the region in the 20th century. Little media attention was given to the powerful hurricane while it was out at sea as Europe was on the brink of war and the overriding story of the time. There was no advanced meteorological technology such as radar or satellite imagery to warn of the storm’s approach.

An unusually strong “cold air damming” scenario is looking likely for the next few days anchored by a deep high-pressure system centered over southeastern Canada. As a result, a stiff flow of air from the east-to-northeast will form producing far below normal temperatures in the DC-to-Philly-to-NYC corridor for the bulk of the week. In addition to the chill down, the weather will be quite unsettled as well with periods of rain during the next few days as multiple low pressure areas ride along a nearby frontal boundary zone and one of these will intensify over the western Atlantic. With the expected lengthy period of onshore flow, tidal flooding will likely become a big concern along coastal sections by later in the week.

Cool conditions today with afternoon highs confined to the middle 70’s, but it turns warmer for the remainder of the week with 80-degree daily highs on the table. It remains somewhat unsettled today with scattered afternoon and evening thunderstorms possible with a continuing high amount of low-level moisture.

The weather remains quite hot for the next couple of days with high pressure to our north in control. Temperatures today can peak in the upper 90’s and then the low-to-mid 90’s are on the table for tomorrow afternoon. It becomes more manageable later in the week with afternoon highs mainly confined to the low-to-mid 80’s from Wednesday to Saturday. As far as rain goes, there is the chance for showers and thunderstorms during the PM hours on Monday and Tuesday as well and some of the storms can be strong.
