Discussion

The cold air mass that pushed into the northeastern states earlier this week will retreat to the north today and it turns somewhat milder, but it’ll be damp as well with occasional rain and some patchy fog around. It stays unsettled tonight and tomorrow with additional rain likely and the patchy fog will stick around in some areas. A backdoor cold front pushes through the region by tomorrow night and the end of the week will turn out to be quite chilly with a low-level ocean flow of air. A big-time warmup is then likely to take place here this weekend into early next week and temperatures could soar through the 60’s. There will continue to be a threat of showers from time-to-time this weekend and perhaps a thunderstorm or two mixed into the picture.
