Discussion
The passage of a “back door” cool front has ushered in noticeably cooler air to the NYC metro region and low-level winds will be consistent today from an east-to-northeast direction. There can be scattered showers in the area, but much of the day should be rain-free as we close out the work week. The “back door” cool front turns around this weekend and pushes to the north as a warm front. As a result, it’ll become much warmer here on Saturday, but the intense heat from earlier this week will not make a return. The threat of showers and thunderstorms will return for tonight, tomorrow and tomorrow night and any storm that occurs can be on the strong side. The weekend closes out with plenty of sun on Sunday, very warm conditions, and a reduced chance of rain.
