A strong cold front will slowly work its way through the region today and it’ll generate more showers and possible thunderstorms. Some of the rain today will be heavy at times and some of the storms can be on the strong-to-severe side with damaging wind gusts. Cooler air will move into the area on Wednesday following the frontal passage and it’ll stay on the cool side on Thursday and Friday as well. By the weekend, attention will turn upstream to yet another strong cold front that will be dropping southeast from the Northern Plains. This next front could ultimately result in significant rain for the I-95 corridor on Sunday and it then might be followed by another cold shot for the early part of next week.

The quiet, dry and warm weather pattern of recent weeks in the Mid-Atlantic region is coming to an end and a soaking rain event is on the way with the possibility for some strong-to-severe thunderstorms as well. The biggest threat from the potential thunderstorms in the I-95 corridor appears to be damaging wind gusts as there will be a rapidly strengthening jet streak at lower levels of the atmosphere tonight and Tuesday and this could translate down to the surface. Following the rain event, cooler air will slide into the Mid-Atlantic region for a few days, but the core of this chilly air mass is headed towards the Southeast US where the difference from normal will be much more noticeable. Looking ahead, another strong cold front will approach the region from our northwest later this weekend and this could lead to another significant rain event on Sunday and which may then be followed by another chilly shot of air early next week.

The quiet, dry and warm weather pattern we’ve enjoyed for much of October is going to undergo a change and there is likely to be some wild weather over the next few weeks with soaking rain events, possible strong thunderstorm activity, and multiple cold shots coming into the eastern and central US. A strong cold front is diving southeastward today from the Upper Midwest and it’ll help drive some moisture northward from the Gulf of Mexico over the next 24 hours. As a result, a soaking rain event is likely around here from later tonight into tomorrow night and there can be some strong-to-severe thunderstorm activity as well. Once the front passes through the region late tomorrow night, a chilly air mass will push in at mid-week and keep us cool until the weekend. It is likely to modify over the weekend in terms of temperatures, but another rain event is possible late in the weekend and that may be followed by an impressive cold shot early next week - just in time for Halloween.

This week has been about as quiet as it gets this time of year in the eastern part of the nation with very strong and relatively stationary high pressure dominating the scene for several days. In fact, that same high pressure system will continue to control the weather for the Northeast US/Mid-Atlantic region right through the upcoming weekend. Beyond that, however, a rapidly changing weather pattern will likely result in some wild weather for the eastern states over the next couple of weeks that could include soaking rain, possible severe thunderstorm activity, and occasional impressive cold air outbreaks.

Strong high pressure stays close to the Mid-Atlantic region through the weekend and each day should feature some sunshine and comfortable temperatures. A cold front will slowly approach the region from the Upper Midwest early next week and this could tap into Gulf of Mexico moisture and ultimately result in a soaking rain event for much of the eastern US in the Tuesday time frame. It’ll turn cooler at mid-week following the Tuesday rain event.

Each day through Sunday should feature at least some sunshine and temperatures will remain rather comfortable for this time of year. A cold front will slowly approach the region from the Upper Midwest early next week and this could tap into Gulf of Mexico moisture and ultimately result in a soaking rain event for much of the eastern US in the Tuesday/Wednesday time frame.

The coolest air mass of the season so far is now fully entrenched in the Mid-Atlantic region and the day will start off on a very chilly note in the NYC metro region.

A cold frontal system passed through the region late last night and has ushered in the coolest air mass of the season so far and it will stick around into mid-week. In fact, temperatures late tonight should drop to near 40 degrees in many suburban locations and frost is even possible in nearby places to the north and west like northeastern PA and interior upstate New Jersey. The Yankees playoff game will certainly have the feel of October baseball with dry, chill conditions. Strong high pressure will expand eastward from the Upper Midwest later today and control the weather pattern around here right through the rest of the week.

Strong high pressure draped across southeastern Canada will continue to keep a cool, moist ocean flow of air in place for the region as we close out the work week. As a result, temperatures will remain on the cool side today and there can be some more light rain or drizzle at times. By tomorrow, this area of high pressure will push off the Canadian east coast and our low-level winds will shift to more of a south-to-southwest direction. This will allow us to become warmer on Saturday despite some clouds and perhaps make it to the 80 degree mark by Sunday afternoon. Another cold front will arrive here on Sunday night – perhaps with some light rain shower activity – and then another strong high pressure system will expand eastward from the Upper Midwest and we’ll turn cool again for the first half of the new work week.
