Discussion

A summer-like weekend is in store for the Mid-Atlantic region with warmth and noticeable humidity. The higher humidity values will have three effects on our weekend weather: 1) expect some clouds on each day 2) there will be a daily threat for a shower or thunderstorm and 3) patchy late night and early morning fog will likely form. By Monday, an approaching cool front will increase the odds for showers and thunderstorms and the summer-like warmth and humidity will persist. Cooler, less humid air should follow the frontal system by the middle of next week.

Elsewhere this weekend, while the Mid-Atlantic is warm and humid, the Rockies and Northern Plains will experience cold conditions and accumulating snow. The clash of cold air across the western US with the warm and humid air in the eastern US, will likely result in severe weather for the central Plains this weekend from Texas to Kansas. Meanwhile, Subtropical Storm Ana has formed off the southern Atlantic coast of the United States - a "home-grown" type of tropical storm - making it the first named tropical system of the 2015 Atlantic Hurricane Season (2015 Tropical Outlook: http://vencoreweather.com/2015/05/05/1000-am-2015-tropical-and-mid-atlantic-summertime-outlooks/).

Patchy fog possible early; otherwise, partly sunny, warm, chance for a shower or thunderstorm, near 80 degrees

Tuesday

Patchy fog possible early; otherwise, partly sunny, warm, chance for a shower or thunderstorm, upper 70’s

Discussion

High pressure builds into the region today and we’ll experience relatively decent weather for the next couple of days as we close out the work week. The weekend is shaping up to be rather summer-like with high temperatures near 80 degrees and there will be a noticeable increase in humidity. The increase in moisture content will generate some clouds on each weekend day and help produce the chance for a daily shower or thunderstorm. In addition, late night and early morning patchy fog may become an issue during the weekend and into the early part of next week.

Elsewhere, while the Mid-Atlantic region is featuring summer-like weather this weekend, the Rockies and Northern Plains will cool down dramatically - Denver, Colorado, for example, could actually receive accumulating snow. This clash of cold air in the western US and warm, humid air in the East will also likely lead to an outbreak of severe weather across the Plains.

6:00 AM | Still somewhat unsettled today...nice weather for Thursday/Friday...summer-like this weekend

6-Day NYC Forecast

Today

Mainly cloudy, not as warm, still the chance for lingering showers, maybe even a thunderstorm, highs not far from 70 degrees

Tonight

Becoming partly cloudy, mild, lows in the mid 50’s

Thursday

Mainly sunny, nice, mid-to-upper 70’s

Thursday Night

Partly cloudy, mild, mid 50’s

Saturday

Mainly sunny, warm, near 80 degrees

Sunday

Mainly sunny, warm, near 80 degrees

Monday

Partly sunny, warm, chance for showers and thunderstorms, mid-to-upper 70’s

Discussion

A weak cool front passed through the region late yesterday and it has stalled out just to our south. This proximity to the front will mean lingering showers are still possible today in the local area and perhaps there will even be a thunderstorm or two. Nicer weather will return for Thursday and Friday and the weekend is looking summer-like with temperatures at 80+ degrees each day and the humidity will even become rather noticeable.

6:00 AM | Cool front increases the chances for showers and thunderstorms later today

6-Day NYC Forecast

Today

Partly sunny, still quite warm, late day showers possible, maybe a thunderstorm, highs near 80 degrees

Tonight

Mostly cloudy, mild, showers possible, maybe a thunderstorm, upper 50’s

Wednesday

Mostly cloudy, not as warm, a couple of showers still possible, near 70 degrees

Wednesday Night

Partly cloudy, mild, maybe a shower early, mid 50’s

Thursday

Mainly sunny, nice, mid 70’s

Friday

Mainly sunny, warm, mid-to-upper 70’s

Saturday

Mainly sunny, warm, near 80 degrees

Sunday

Partly sunny, warm, near 80 degrees

Discussion

Temperatures climbed well into the 80’s on Monday along the I-95 corridor and the 80 degree mark can be reached again today, but the approach of a cool front later today will increase the chances for showers and scattered thunderstorms. The cool front will stall nearby on Wednesday and that proximity will keep the shower threat on the table for tomorrow, but nice weather is likely to return for Thursday and Friday - and perhaps even last right through the upcoming weekend. Elsewhere, a slow-moving “tropical-like” system will form this week off the Southeast US coastline and there is a chance that it develops into the first officially-named (Ana) tropical system of the season.

Discussion

High pressure is in control of our weather in the Mid-Atlantic region as we start the new work week and warm air will push in from the southwest boosting afternoon temperatures to 80+ degrees. It’ll stay warm on Tuesday, but the approach of a cool front will increase chances for showers later in the day and at night, perhaps even a thunderstorm, and that front could stall nearby causing somewhat unsettled conditions on Wednesday. Elsewhere, a slow-moving “tropical-like” system will form this week off the Southeast US coastline and there is a small chance that it develops into the first officially-named tropical system of the season.

Discussion

A storm well off the Mid-Atlantic coastline will continue to produce a low-level flow of cool air off the ocean (NE winds) and this will keep temperatures down today to below-normal levels. However, once the weekend begins, this flow off the ocean will terminate and it’ll turn noticeably milder by tomorrow afternoon although there can be a shower or thunderstorm anywhere along the I-95 corridor. It’ll turn even warmer early next week with the mid 70’s likely for highs on Sunday and it’ll likely take a run towards the 80 degree mark on Monday and Tuesday.

Monday

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

Tuesday

Mainly sunny, warm, near 80 degrees

Discussion

Get the air conditioner ready as next week will turn warm with 80 degrees possible for high temperatures by Tuesday afternoon. First, we'll have to deal with cooler and damp weather as we close out the work week as a storm organizes off the Mid-Atlantic coastline. Even though the brunt of the storm will remain off-shore, a persistent low-level flow of air out of the E-NE will form and it'll push in cooler air off the ocean into the I-95 corridor. As a result, temperatures today will be noticeably cooler than yesterday and highs on Friday may struggle to pass the 60 degree mark along with an occasional shower. The beginning of the weekend will feature improvement and noticeably milder conditions; however, a shower or two cannot be ruled out for Saturday afternoon. High pressure takes full control by Sunday which should turn out to be quite pleasant and then it'll turn downright warm early next week with 80 degrees possible for highs by Tuesday afternoon.

Today will be a spectacular day as high pressure remains in control, but then the weather goes downhill. A storm will organize near the Mid-Atlantic coastline later tomorrow and it will produce cool, damp conditions in the region as we progress through the rest of the work week. High pressure will return for the weekend and generate pretty nice weather around here on Saturday and especially Sunday and next week looks quite warm.

Discussion

Weak high pressure will build into the region today and it’ll turn milder as sunshine returns following yesterday’s unsettled weather conditions. Tomorrow will also turn out to be a relatively mild day with plenty of sunshine, but then the weather goes downhill. A storm will organize near the Mid-Atlantic coastline on Thursday and likely generate occasional rain in the I-95 corridor which could even linger into Friday. It’ll be much cooler-than-normal on Thursday and Friday given the expected abundant cloud cover and potential occasional rainfall.

Discussion

An upper-level disturbance will cross over the Northeast US today and it could generate a few showers in the local region. Weak high pressure will then build into the region on Tuesday and, following that, attention will turn towards an area of moisture in the Southeast US at mid-week. This moisture is likely to consolidate with developing low pressure near the east coast during the second half of the week. As a result, rain is possible in the I-95 corridor later Thursday from this potential coastal storm and the threat for showers may last into Friday. Both Thursday and Friday will be quite cool for this time of year given the expected abundant cloud cover.
