Discussion              

December will begin with chilly conditions in the NYC metro region and quite likely some rainfall during the late afternoon and evening hours. Low pressure pushes towards the Great Lakes later in the day and its moisture field will advance in this direction resulting in some rain here and then a cold front passes through in the overnight hours. The weekend turns milder and there will be lots of clouds around on both days. There can be occasional light rain or drizzle this weekend as a couple of low pressure systems push this way from the southeastern states.  Looking ahead, a “clipper” system will drop southeast from Canada next week and it could bring some snow and/or rain to the Mid-Atlantic region by mid-week.
