Discussion
October has been well above-normal so far in the I-95 corridor (PHL +8.2°, DC +7.1°, NYC +8.7°), but the next few days will feature some cooler air as an ocean flow develops as a result of strengthening high pressure across southeastern Canada. A cold frontal passage will usher in the cooler air mass and it should generate occasional showers today and tonight. The next couple of days will feature plenty of clouds, a cool breeze from off of the ocean, and the threat for some light rain or drizzle at times. Warmer weather will return to the region this weekend along with an increase in the amount of sunshine for both days.
