Discussion

Yesterday turned out to be a very warm day in the Mid-Atlantic region with many areas flirting with the 80 degree mark for afternoon highs. Today will be cooler in the NYC metro region as a southeasterly low-level flow develops and afternoon temperatures are likely to peak near the 60 degree mark. A strong cold front heads this way later Thursday and this system is likely to generate numerous showers around here, maybe a thunderstorm, and some of the rain can heavy at times into the day on Friday. High pressure builds into the Mid-Atlantic region for the upcoming weekend.
