Discussion
Low pressure will move along a frontal boundary zone later today and intensify into a significant storm by later tomorrow along the Mid-Atlantic coastline as a pair upper-level lows slowly phase together right on top of the region. This coastal storm will produce a soaking rainfall for the NYC metro region from late tonight through tomorrow night and temperatures will remain well below normal for this time of year. While there will be some slight improvement on Sunday as the surface storm heads into New England, the atmosphere will remain quite unstable around here with cold air aloft associated with a deep upper-level low. This instability should lead to numerous (cumulus) clouds and occasional showers are likely on Sunday. In addition, Mother’s Day will remain quite cool for this time of year and the wind will be quite noticeable on the back side of the storm. Looking ahead, much warmer air is likely to blast into the Mid-Atlantic region by the middle of next week. At the same time, very chilly air will dive into the western US and this combination of warm air to the east and cold air to the west could lead to a major severe weather outbreak in the central Plains come mid-week.
