High pressure will continue to generate tranquil and moderately warm conditions around here through the middle of the week. The next weather system of note will be a cold front that approaches the Mid-Atlantic region on Thursday likely bringing with it an increasing chance of showers and thunderstorms. High pressure should return for Friday and the upcoming weekend with dry, warm conditions once again returning to the area.

Unsettled weather will continue for a bit longer in the NYC metro region with another shower or thunderstorm possible as we close out the work week, but primarily, a rain-free day. The weekend looks to be much quieter as high pressure builds in from our northwest and more comfortable air pushes into the area. Temperatures this weekend will be at or slightly below normal and overall humidity will drop to noticeably more comfortable levels.

The unsettled weather pattern continues for another couple of days in the Mid-Atlantic region with occasional showers and thunderstorms…any storm can be strong and some of the rain can be heavy. After a break in the heat on Wednesday, southwesterly flow should push much warmer air back into the region later today and temperatures likely will climb to the middle 80’s. A comfortable air mass should drop southward into the region for much of the Labor Day weekend featuring at or slightly below-normal temperatures and lowering humidity values.
One final note…anyone planning to travel to Penn State for their first game on Saturday (@3:30pm) can expect to see mainly sunny skies and high temperatures in the upper 70’s.

A frontal boundary zone has dropped to the south of here and this should knock off several degrees for today’s highs compared to Tuesday as a low-level east-to-northeast flow has formed. There will be the chance of light rain or drizzle today and the chance of showers and thunderstorms later tonight and on Thursday when temperatures will climb back to very warm levels. Any storm that forms later tonight and on Thursday can be strong with heavy downpours on the table. The same front should clear through the region by the end of the week paving the way for a comfortable Labor Day weekend.

The peripheral region of an intense upper-level ridge can often be quite an active area for thunderstorms this time of year and this summer has been no exception. Specifically, the northeastern quadrant of an intense upper-level ridge where northwesterly flow dominates in the overall clockwise circulation around high pressure can often contain numerous bands of thunderstorms, complexes of thunderstorms and even long-lasting lines known as derechos. This “ring of fire” region in the outer peripheral of high pressure with northwesterly flow aloft has been repeatedly showing up this summer extending from the Great Lakes to the Mid-Atlantic and numerous severe weather outbreaks have been the result. A repeat performance is on the table during the next few days with Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday likely to feature numerous bands of strong-to-severe thunderstorms that will potentially impact the DC-to-Philly-to-NYC corridor.

Looking ahead, the Labor Day weekend could turn out to be quite nice with a comfortable air mass and high pressure to our north taking control.

A cold front will cross the region today and push off the eastern seaboard potentially bringing an afternoon shower or thunderstorm to some spots. High pressure builds in for the weekend providing us with warm conditions and plenty of sunshine on both days. It turns warmer and more humid during the early and middle parts of next week after high pressure shifts to the western Atlantic Ocean.

There will be a warm front pushing through the region today and then a cold front on Friday and the weather will be quite unsettled as a result. There is the chance for showers and thunderstorms at just about anytime today and tonight…some of the storms can be strong-to-severe and some of the rain can be heavy. Another shower or thunderstorm is possible on Friday as the cold front works it way off the eastern seaboard. High pressure then pushes back into the area for the weekend providing warm conditions for both Saturday and Sunday and plenty of sunshine.
One final note, there is a lunar eclipse tonight that peaks at 12:13am (ET) with 96% of the lunar surface covered by Earth’s shadow…weather permitting of course and it looks mostly cloudy.
