Discussion

An active and complicated weather pattern continues today across much of the country ranging from near record warmth in the East to blizzard conditions in the nation’s mid-section and there will be a series of frontal systems to deal with around here between tonight and late Friday. Today will be another very warm day around here with 85+ degrees possible for high temperatures this afternoon along with plenty of sunshine. The middle 80’s are likely again here on Thursday; however, we’ll be watching the dreaded back door cold front which is likely to dramatically cool things down in the NYC metro region, but most likely not this far south. A strong west-to-east moving cold front will then approach the region from the Great Lakes region tomorrow night and Friday, and the transition back to more seasonal conditions by the weekend could be quite a bumpy ride with possible strong thunderstorms and heavy rainfall. This strong cold front will clear out of here by Saturday and sunshine will return, but it’ll be breezy and noticeably cooler.
