Discussion

It turns milder today with increasing clouds as a warm front approaches the area from our southwest and there can be a shower by the end of the afternoon. Showers are likely tonight as the warm front pushes through the region and temperatures will surge on Saturday to near 80 degrees for afternoon highs. There should be some sunshine to go along with the warmth on Saturday and a stiff breeze as well from a west-to-southwest direction. Temperatures on Sunday are likely to be much cooler across NYC and much of New Jersey as well with the passage of a back door cool frontal system from northeast-to-southwest. Looking ahead, a strong storm will pass by to the northwest of the Mid-Atlantic’s I-95 corridor region on Monday and it’ll drag a strong cold front through the area with additional shower activity and perhaps a thunderstorm. This frontal passage will end the warm spell leading to much colder conditions by Tuesday and its stays on the chilly side next Wednesday as well.
