7:00 AM | The approach of a slow-moving front will increase chance for showers and thunderstorms...some of the rain will be heavy Thursday and Friday

6-Day NYC Forecast

Today

Mainly sunny, hot, humid, chance for an afternoon shower or thunderstorm, highs near 90 degrees

Tonight

An isolated shower or thunderstorm; otherwise, mainly cloudy skies, mild, muggy, lows in the lower 70’s

Wednesday

More clouds than sun, quite warm and humid, chance for showers and thunderstorms, mid 80’s

Wednesday Night

Scattered showers and thunderstorms; otherwise, mostly cloudy, mild, muggy, low 70’s

Thursday

Mainly cloudy, warm, humid, showers and thunderstorms likely, some of the rain can be heavy, mid 80’s

Friday

Mostly cloudy, not as warm, showers and thunderstorms likely, some of the rain can be heavy, low 80’s

Saturday

Partly sunny, comfortable temperatures, chance for showers and thunderstorms, low-to-mid 80’s

Sunday

Partly sunny, comfortable, cannot rule out another shower or thunderstorm, low-to-mid 80’s

Discussion

Today will be another hot one, but it is also likely to be the last 90 degree day of the week as abundant clouds and occasional rainfall will limit temperatures during the second half of the week. A very slow-moving cool front will inch across the region later this week and it will increase dramatically our chances for showers and thunderstorms over the next few days and some of the rainfall is likely to be heavy at times. Given the slow movement of the front, the threat for showers and thunderstorms in the Mid-Atlantic region - which begins to increase tonight and on Wednesday - will likely linger until the end of the week and perhaps even into the weekend along the east coast.

7:00 AM | Hot to start the week...increasing chance for showers and thunderstorms as the week progresses

6-Day NYC Forecast

Today

Mostly sunny, hot, humid, cannot rule out a shower or thunderstorm this afternoon, highs in the low-to-mid 90’s

Tonight

An isolated shower or thunderstorm; otherwise, partly cloudy skies, mild, lows late tonight in the low-to-mid 70’s

Tuesday

Mainly sunny, hot, humid, chance for a late day shower or thunderstorm, near 90 degrees

Tuesday Night

An isolated shower or thunderstorm; otherwise, mostly cloudy, mild, low 70’s

Wednesday

Partly sunny, quite warm, humid, chance for a shower or thunderstorm, upper 80’s

Thursday

Mostly cloudy, warm, humid, showers and thunderstorms likely, mid-to-upper 80’s

Friday

Partly sunny, warm, still the threat for showers and thunderstorms, mid 80’s

Saturday

Discussion

A flow of low-level air out of the southwest ushered in heat and humidity to the Mid-Atlantic region this weekend and those conditions will continue for the next couple of days. A very slow-moving cool front will crawl into the region in the Wednesday/Thursday time frame and these two day promise to be more active in terms of showers and thunderstorms. Given the slow movement of this frontal system, the threat for showers and thunderstorms may even continue on Friday as well.

7:00 AM | Heat and humidity build next few days

6-Day NYC Forecast

Today

Mostly sunny and becoming noticeably warmer, highs in the mid-to-upper 80’s

Tonight

Partly cloudy skies, mild, lows late tonight in the upper 60’s

Saturday

Mainly sunny, quite warm, more humid, a slight chance for a shower or thunderstorm late, not far from 90 degrees for highs

Saturday Night

Partly cloudy, mild, chance for a shower or thunderstorm, low 70’s

Sunday

Mainly sunny, quite warm, humid, not far from 90 degrees for highs

Monday

Mainly sunny, quite warm, humid, chance for a shower or thunderstorm, not far from 90 degrees for highs

Tuesday

Mainly sunny, quite warm, humid, chance for a shower or thunderstorm, not far from 90 degrees for highs

Wednesday

Partly sunny, quite warm, humid, chance for a shower or thunderstorm, mid-to-upper 80’s

Discussion

High pressure will shift off the east coast as we close out the week and this will promote a low-level southwesterly flow of air in the I-95 corridor. As a result, temperatures and humidity levels will climb over the next couple of days and we’ll flirt with the 90 degree mark for highs each day this weekend and also during the early part of next week. As far as rainfall is concerned, while a shower or thunderstorm cannot be ruled out each of the next several days, the vast majority of the time should be rain-free.

Monday

Mainly sunny, quite warm, humid, chance for a shower or thunderstorm, not far from 90 degrees for highs

Tuesday

Mainly sunny, quite warm, humid, chance for a shower or thunderstorm, not far from 90 degrees for highs

Discussion

High pressure will continue to control the weather around here right into the early part of next week and overall conditions today will be very comfortable for this time of year. The high pressure system will shift to the east coast from the Midwest on Friday and then to a position off the coast this weekend and that movement will allow for the development of a low-level flow of air out of the southwest. As a result, it should turn noticeably warmer around here by tomorrow afternoon and then the humidity will climb markedly this weekend. Temperatures by the weekend will flirt with the 90 degree mark along the I-95 corridor and a shower or thunderstorm cannot be completely ruled out on either weekend day.

7:00 AM | Nice weather pattern for the rest of the week...Perseid meteor shower peaks late tonight

Sunday

Monday

Mainly sunny, quite warm, humid, cannot rule out a shower or thunderstorm, upper 80’s

Discussion

High pressure is now building into the Mid-Atlantic region following the passage of a cool front late yesterday, but the atmosphere may be just unstable enough to produce a stray afternoon shower or thunderstorm. Temperatures will be quite pleasant today and on Thursday, but will climb to noticeably warmer levels by Friday afternoon. Looking ahead, as high pressure pushes off the east coast this weekend, more humid air will push into the Mid-Atlantic region from the southwest and the chance for a shower or thunderstorm will increase.

Finally, the Perseid meteor shower peaks late tonight and skies should be favorable with partly cloudy-to-mostly clear conditions. The best time to view the meteors will be between about 11pm and 5am far removed from any bright lights.

A warm front pushed through the region on Monday generating scattered showers and today will feature an approaching cool front that will generate more showers along with embedded thunderstorms and some of the rainfall will be heavy at times. High pressure will build back in later tonight and control the weather during the second half of the week. Temperatures will be quite comfortable on Wednesday and Thursday, but will return to rather quite warm levels by the weekend.

Discussion

High pressure controlled the weather this weekend, but this system will give way and the next pair of frontal systems will combine to produce showers and thunderstorms in the Mid-Atlantic region later today into tomorrow and some of the rain can be heavy at times. A warm front will lift through the region on Monday and this will be quickly followed by a cold frontal passage on Tuesday. High pressure will build back into the area at mid-week and should stay in control through the second half of the week.

Tuesday

Wednesday

Discussion

Low pressure will ride along a frontal boundary zone today towards the Mid-Atlantic coastline, but much, or all, of its precipitation field will stay to the south of the NYC metro region. This system will push off the east coast by early tomorrow paving the way for a rather nice weekend in the Mid-Atlantic region with the continuation of comfortable temperatures and humidity levels for this time of year.

7:00 AM | Threat for rain later tonight and Friday is much greater to the south of here

6-Day NYC Forecast

Today

Sunshine followed by increasing clouds, pleasant, highs in the low 80's

Tonight

Becoming mostly cloudy, cool, slight chance for late showers, lows in the mid 60’s

Friday

Considerable cloudiness, cool, slight chance for occasional showers, near 80 degrees

Friday Night

Mostly cloudy, cool, showers possible early, mid 60’s

Saturday

Sunday

Mainly sunny, pleasant, low 80's

Monday

Partly sunny, comfortably warm, chance for showers and thunderstorms, low 80's

Tuesday

Mostly cloudy, comfortably warm, good chance for showers and thunderstorms, low 80’s

Discussion

Low pressure will ride along a boundary zone into the Mid-Atlantic coastal region over the next 24 hours or so and produce some rainfall along the way. It appears the steadiest, heaviest rain associated with this low pressure area will stay south of the NYC metro region. Once the low pressure pushes off the east coast, high pressure will build back into the region and the weekend will turn out quite nice with comfortable temperatures and humidity levels.

7:00 AM | More comfortable air stays around through the weekend

6-Day NYC Forecast

Today

Mainly sunny, more comfortable, cannot completely rule out a shower or thunderstorm, highs in the middle 80’s

Tonight

Partly cloudy skies, pleasant, chance for a shower or thunderstorm, lows in the mid 60’s

Thursday

Increasing clouds, comfortable temperatures, low 80’s

Thursday Night

Mostly cloudy, cool, showers possible, low-to-mid 60’s

Friday

Mainly cloudy, showers possible, maybe a thunderstorm, highs confined to near 80 degrees

Saturday

Becoming mainly sunny, nice, near 80 degrees

Sunday

Mainly sunny, still on the pleasant side, near 80 degrees

Monday

Mainly sunny, comfortable, cannot rule out a shower or thunderstorm, low 80’s

Discussion

A cool front will stall out just to the south of here over the next 24 hours or so and this will set the stage for low pressure to ride along the frontal boundary zone into the Mid-Atlantic region at the end of the week. Some rainfall is possible around here during Thursday night and Friday from this low pressure system, but the best chance looks like it will be to our south and east. Low pressure pulls away from the coastline early Saturday paving the way for a decent weekend in the Mid-Atlantic region with comfortable temperatures and humidity levels.
