Discussion
It’ll turn out cooler today in the NYC metro region as an easterly flow of air developed following the passage of a “backdoor” frontal system. There will also be plenty of clouds around today with the chance for a bit of light rain or drizzle from time-to-time. The weather becomes much warmer again on Thursday ahead of an approaching strong surface cold front from the Ohio Valley. There will be an increasing chance of showers on Thursday and perhaps even a late day or evening strong-to-severe thunderstorm. It’ll turn cooler on Friday following the passage of the frontal system with a chilly air mass moving into the northeastern states. High pressure with its origins in Canada will take control of the weather for the weekend and there should be some sunshine on both days; however, it’ll feel quite cool in the shade or during the nighttime hours.
