Discussion
There was some welcome rainfall yesterday in the NYC metro region, but it didn’t amount to all that much as the system involved was a rather quick mover. After a damp and foggy day on Tuesday, another rain event is on the way and this one will be much more significant than yesterday’s with more than 2 inches on the table between later tonight and tomorrow night. In addition to the rain, the winds might become quite strong both ahead of the advancing cold front on Wednesday from a southerly direction and also on its backside on Wednesday night from a northwesterly direction. The combination of a strong surface cold front, plenty of available moisture, and a deep upper-level trough that becomes “negatively-tilted” will lead to the heavy rain event. A cold blast will follow the passage of the cold front with temperatures on both Thursday and Friday well below-normal for this time of year.
