Becoming cloudy, milder, chance for rain late, mid 60's

Discussion

Today will be another breezy, chilly day in the Mid-Atlantic region with temperatures well below normal for this time of year. Temperatures are likely to drop into the middle 30’s in many suburban locations in the overnight hours and patchy frost is quite possible by early tomorrow morning. An area of showers just to our southwest this weekend should stay far enough away to keep us rain-free as we progress through Saturday and Sunday.

7:00 AM | Colder pattern has set up and will stick around...frost possible in suburban locations next few nights...significant coastal storm on the table for late next week

6-Day NYC Forecast

Today

Partly sunny, quite breezy and chilly, cannot rule out an afternoon shower, highs in the mid 50’s

Tonight

Partly cloudy, cold, cannot rule out some patchy frost late, lows in the mid 30’s

Friday

Mainly sunny, breezy, chilly, low-to-mid 50’s

Friday Night

Mainly clear, cold, cannot rule out some patchy frost late, mid 30’s

Saturday

Mainly sunny, chilly, mid-to-upper 50’s

Sunday

Partly sunny, chilly, upper 50’s

Monday

Mainly sunny, cool, near 60 degrees

Tuesday

Partly sunny, cool, near 60 degrees

Discussion

A strong cold frontal passage on Wednesday ushered in a pattern change that will bring the Mid-Atlantic region colder-than-normal weather conditions not only for the rest of the week, but also likely for the rest of the month. Overnight lows in the 30’s in suburban locations will be the norm for the next few nights and frost is not out of the question early Friday morning and again early Saturday morning. As far as rainfall is concerned, there will be an area of showers across northern Maryland and Virginia on Saturday, but it is likely to stay far enough away for us to stay dry. Looking ahead, many computer forecast models are forecasting a significant east coast storm next week in the Wednesday-to-Friday time period.

Discussion

A "pattern-changing" strong cold frontal system is generating showers and embedded strong-to-severe thunderstorms from central Pennsylvania southward to Northern Virginia at mid-day and this band will move rapidly to the east into the I-95 corridor over the next few hours. Wind gusts of up to 60 mph are possible as this line of showers and storms races to the east and there can be brief downpours and small hail in scattered locations. Much colder air will quickly follow with this “pattern-changing” cold frontal passage - already down to 43 degrees in State College - and there is even snow falling across higher elevation locations of western Maryland. Colder-than-normal conditions are likely to not only last for the remainder of the week in the Mid-Atlantic region, but right through the rest of the month of April with 30’s common for overnight lows in many suburban locations to the north and west of the I-95 big cities.

7:00 AM | *Strong "pattern-changing" cold front arrives this afternoon with showers and possible strong-to-severe thunderstorms...below-normal temperatures to hold for the remainder of the week and perhaps right through the rest of April*

6-Day NYC Forecast

Today

Partly sunny and increasingly windy, showers arrive this afternoon and perhaps a strong thunderstorm containing gusty winds to 50 mph, smal hail and brief downpours, highs in the low-to-mid 60’s (normal high at Central Park is now 63 degrees)

Tonight

An early evening shower possible; otherwise, remaining mostly cloudy and turning noticeably colder, lows by morning near 40 degrees

Thursday

Partly sunny, windy, chilly, mid 50’s

Thursday Night

Partly cloudy, cold, mid-to-upper 30’s

Friday

Mainly sunny, breezy, chilly, low-to-mid 50’s

Saturday

Mainly sunny, chilly, mid 50’s

Sunday

Mainly sunny, chilly, upper 50’s

Monday

Mainly sunny, cool, near 60 degrees

Discussion

A "pattern-changing" strong cold frontal system will arrive later today in the I-95 corridor with showers and perhaps a few strong-to-severe thunderstorms containing wind gusts to 50 mph, small hail and brief downpours. The most likely timetable for this band of showers and thunderstorms to cross the NYC metro region is between 1 and 5pm. Following the frontal passage, colder air will pour into the eastern states with the 30's again likely for overnight lows in suburban locations and the colder-than-normal conditions are going to hold here for the remainder of the week. In fact, once this below-normal temperature pattern sets up in the eastern states, it is likely to hold on right through the rest of the month of April.

7:00 AM | Colder pattern sets up on Wednesday with cold frontal passage...below-normal temperatures on Thursday, Friday and beyond

6-Day NYC Forecast

Today

Early morning showers and perhaps a lingering isolated thunderstorm then gradual clearing skies, breezy and seasonably mild, highs in the mid-to-upper 60's

Tonight

Partly cloudy, quite cool late, lows in the mid 40’s

Wednesday

Partly sunny, quite breezy, a bit cooler, afternoon showers likely and perhaps a gusty thunderstorm, low 60’s

Wednesday Night

Mainly cloudy, chance for an evening shower or two, colder late, upper 30's by morning

Thursday

Partly sunny, breezy, chilly, mid-to-upper 50’s

Friday

Mainly sunny, chilly, low-to-mid 50’s

Saturday

Mainly sunny, chilly, mid 50’s

Sunday

Mainly sunny, chilly, upper 50’s

Discussion

The overall weather pattern is undergoing a transition to colder-than-normal for the eastern two-thirds of the nation and the next cold frontal passage late on Wednesday will set the stage for the change in the I-95 corridor. Temperatures today should climb to seasonably mild levels with increasing amounts of sunshine, but below-normal readings are coming our way for Thursday, Friday, Saturday and beyond. A strong cold front will arrive in the region late tomorrow with PM showers and possible gusty thunderstorms and this system will usher in colder air for the second half of the week.

7:00 AM | Heavy rain to start the week...colder pattern begins at mid-week

6-Day NYC Forecast

Today

Periods of rain, heavy at times, breezy, cool, highs in the low-to-mid 60’s

Tonight

Showers likely and maybe a strong thunderstorm, mild, lows in the low 50’s

Tuesday

Partly sunny, breezy, mild, chance for a couple of showers, upper 60’s

Tuesday Night

Partly cloudy, turning colder, mid-to-upper 40’s

Wednesday

Thursday

Partly sunny, chilly, upper 50’s

Friday

Mainly sunny, chilly, mid 50’s

Saturday

Mainly sunny, chilly, mid 50’s

Discussion

The overall weather pattern is undergoing a significant transition this week which will likely produce colder-than-normal weather conditions in the eastern two-thirds of the nation from around mid-week to the end of the month. Today’s rain event in the NYC metro region is a two-parter with steady, soaking rains today associated with a warm front and then cold frontal showers and possible thunderstorms likely tonight. A secondary cold front could spark some shower activity on Wednesday and then the rest of the week (and perhaps the rest of the month of April) will be colder-than-normal.

7:00 AM | Weekend looking pretty nice with warm, dry weather on Saturday and then cooler, but dry conditions for Sunday...significant rain event likely on Monday

6-Day NYC Forecast

Today

Mostly cloudy, breezy, mild, an occasional shower, maybe even an isolated afternoon thunderstorm, much of the time will be rain-free, highs in the mid-to-upper 60’s

Tonight

Mainly cloudy early with a lingering shower possible then partly cloudy late, mild, lows by morning not far from 55 degrees

Saturday

Mostly sunny, breezy, quite mild, low-to-mid 70’s

Saturday Night

Partly cloudy, turning colder late, mid 40’s

Sunday

Mainly sunny, noticeably cooler, near 60 degrees

Monday

Potential for a heavy rain event with cool conditions, upper 50’s

Tuesday

Partly sunny, mild, chance for showers, low-to-mid 60’s

Wednesday

Mostly sunny, cooler, near 60 degrees

Discussion

A weak frontal system is approaching the eastern states today and it is generating scattered shower activity which will continue into early tonight, perhaps there will even be an isolated afternoon thunderstorm. The weekend looks quite nice with warm, dry conditions on Saturday and then cooler, but still dry weather on Sunday. A significant rain event is likely in the NYC metro region region late Sunday night and Monday as the overall weather pattern begins a transition to colder-than-normal weather which will be the dominate theme in the eastern two-thirds of the nation as we progress through the latter stages of April.

7:00 AM | Shower threat returns on Friday...weekend looks decent, but overall unsettled pattern sets in early next week with potential heavy rain event

6-Day NYC Forecast

Today

Mainly sunny, a bit cooler than yesterday, highs in the mid 60’s

Tonight

Becoming mostly cloudy, mild, chance for showers late, lows by morning near 50 degrees

Friday

Mostly cloudy, mild, chance for a few showers, but not a heavy rain event, mid-to-upper 60’s

Friday Night

Mostly cloudy, mild, low 50’s

Saturday

Mainly sunny, warmer, breezy, low-to-mid 70’s

Sunday

Partly sunny, cooler, low 60’s

Monday

Potential for a heavy rain event with cool conditions, near 60 degrees

Tuesday

Mostly cloudy, a bit milder, chance for showers, low-to-mid 60’s

Discussion

High pressure will control our weather for another day, but will shift off the coast by tomorrow. At the same time, the next cold frontal system will close in on the east coast and it should generate some shower activity in the Mid-Atlantic region as we close out the work week, but it will certainly not be a heavy rain event. The weekend looks quite nice, but then an overall unsettled weather pattern will develop early next week and there is the potential for a heavy rain event on Monday. This pattern change will ultimately result in much colder-than-normal weather for the eastern two-thirds of the nation during the latter part of April.

7:00 AM | Pretty nice for the mid-week...shower threat returns by Friday

6-Day NYC Forecast

Today

A mix of sun and clouds, mild, highs in the upper 60’s

Tonight

Partly cloudy, cool, lows by morning in the mid 40’s

Thursday

Partly sunny, a bit cooler, low 60's

Thursday Night

Discussion

A cold frontal system passed through the region on Tuesday and high pressure will build back into the Northeast US for today and Thursday. This high pressure system will move off the coastline on Friday and another frontal system will approach the eastern US bringing with it the chance for showers at the end of the work week.

7:00 AM | Showers this morning from a cold frontal system

6-Day NYC Forecast

Today

Occasional showers this morning and then remaining mostly cloudy for the afternoon with nothing more than a sprinkle, not as mild as yesterday with highs in the middle 60’s

Tonight

Mainly cloudy and cool with a lingering sprinkle possible early, lows by morning in the mid-to-upper 40’s

Wednesday

Mostly sunny, mild, mid-to-upper 60’s

Wednesday Night

Partly cloudy, cool, low-to-mid 40’s

Thursday

Partly sunny, a bit cooler, near 60 degrees

Friday

Mostly cloudy, mild, chance for showers, low-to-mid 60’s

Saturday

Mostly cloudy, mild, chance for showers, upper 60’s

Sunday

Partly sunny, seasonal, low 60’s

Discussion

A cold frontal system is working its way through the I-95 corridor this morning and the result will be occasional showers in the metro region that will taper off later today from northwest-to-southeast although lingering sprinkles can last into the early evening hours. High pressure will rebuild into the Northeast US for the mid-week time frame resulting in mainly dry conditions for Wednesday and Thursday. It’ll remain on the mild side for Wednesday, but then turn slightly cooler on Thursday ahead of the next frontal system which should generate more rain around here as we close out the work week. Longer term, a colder pattern is likely to set up for the last 10 days or so of April with below-normal temperatures likely in much of the eastern two-thirds of the nation for much of that time period.
