A strong cold front will approach the region today generating occasional showers and possible strong thunderstorms. It’ll stay very warm ahead of this front and quite muggy with temperatures likely reaching well into the 70’s for highs in the NYC metro region. Saturday promises to be a cooler day with possible showers and then a strong second cold front will arrive tomorrow night. This second front will cause winds to pick up dramatically on Saturday night and Sunday morning - perhaps with damaging gusts near 60 mph - and rain showers could change to snow showers late Saturday night and early Sunday. Another strong cold front arrives Monday night in this very active weather pattern. Temperatures could drop to near or below freezing in the overnight hours Sunday through Wednesday.

It’ll become much warmer today as a broad southwesterly flow of air develops ahead of an approaching cold frontal system. Showers will develop tonight and continue on Friday as the strong cold front closes in on the eastern seaboard. There can also be a few thunderstorms mixing in later tonight and Friday which can produce some strong winds and brief downpours. A secondary cold front will push through the area Saturday night/early Sunday with possible rain or snow showers and the winds will pick up quite dramatically. Sunday and Monday will be quite cold for this time of year and below freezing temperatures will threaten again by early Monday morning. The unfolding colder-than-normal weather pattern will continue for the first week-to-ten days of April and there can even be some accumulating snow in portions of the Northeast US during this time period.

After a cold start to the day, temperatures will modify this afternoon and a strengthening southwesterly flow of air will warm it up even more on Thursday. It should stay rain-free today, but a warm frontal system is likely to generate showers around here by tomorrow night - perhaps even a thunderstorm or two mixed in. A “major league” cold front will then arrive in the eastern US on Friday and it will usher in a colder-than-normal stretch of weather for the Mid-Atlantic, Great Lakes, and Northeast US beginning this weekend and lasting for perhaps a week-to-ten days. In addition to the cold, there will be one or more opportunities for early spring snow in the Northeast US during this upcoming stretch.

A strong cold front will sweep through our region today and it will not go through unnoticed. There will be periods of rain this morning and lingering showers this afternoon and then - in the wake of the frontal passage late today - winds will intensify dramatically with wind gusts past 50 mph possible from late afternoon through the evening. High pressure will build into the region by tomorrow as a chilly air mass settles in on the region. It’ll turn milder later this week, but then a strong cold front arrives this weekend and this frontal passage will usher in a colder-than-normal stretch of weather for the eastern US beginning on Sunday and lasting for much of the ten days of April.

A cold front will cross the region today and get our Friday off to a damp start. The good news is that high pressure will then build in for the weekend which should out to be quite decent for this time of year. It’ll turn out to be pleasantly cool and dry on Saturday with plenty of sunshine and the high pressure system should hang on long enough for a dry Easter Sunday as sun fades behind increasing cloudiness. Showers are likely to return to the region later Sunday night and continue on Monday from an area of moisture moving our way from the southeastern states.

Some of the rain towards morning and early Friday can be briefly heavy. The Easter weekend is looking decent with “pleasantly cool, dry and sunny” conditions on Saturday and then “sun followed by increasing clouds” on Sunday.

High pressure has shifted to a position over the western Atlantic Ocean during the past 24 hours and the result will be a widespread southwesterly flow of milder air across the eastern US. Temperatures this afternoon will approach the 70 degree mark and it’ll stay quite warm on Thursday as well as a frontal system approaches. That cold front is likely to generate periods of rain around here tomorrow night and then it’ll turn slightly cooler on Friday following the frontal passage. Easter weekend generally looks pretty nice with cool, dry and sunny conditions on Saturday and the decent weather should hold on for Sunday before showers arrive Sunday night or Monday.
