High pressure over the Great Lakes will control the weather in the Mid-Atlantic region for much of the week. Temperatures and humidity levels will be quite comfortable for the early part of September with highs generally in the 70’s and overnight lows in the 50’s. The high shifts off the coast by the early part of the weekend and low pressure may combine with a cold frontal system to produce some rain in the region. Cool, dry air should follow the frontal passage for Sunday and Monday.

The work week will end with plenty of clouds, early day showers, and comfortable temperatures that should peak this afternoon in the lower 70’s...there can be a PM shower or thunderstorm, but mainly rain-free time. A cold front will bear down on the Mid-Atlantic from the northwest later tomorrow and this “primary” frontal system will likely bring more showers and thunderstorms to the area from late tomorrow into tomorrow night. A “secondary” cold front will then drop south and east into the Mid-Atlantic from later Sunday into Monday and it can result in an additional shower or thunderstorm, but nothing too organized and mainly a rain-free finish to the weekend. A cool, dry and fall-like blast of air arrives on Monday, Labor Day, and it’ll feature below-normal temperatures and very comfortable humidity levels right into at least the middle of next week.

It turns cooler today in the NYC metro region following the overnight passage of a cold frontal system and temperatures are likely to be confined to the upper 70’s for afternoon highs and then the middle 70’s for highs on Friday. With the frontal system stalling out in rather close proximity, the weather here will remain somewhat unsettled with the chance of showers and thunderstorms from later tonight into Friday.
Another cold front will bear down on the Mid-Atlantic during the day Saturday and this “primary” frontal system will likely bring more showers and thunderstorms to the region from later Saturday into Saturday night. A “secondary” cold front will then drop south and east into the Mid-Atlantic region from later Sunday into Monday and it can result in additional shower activity here to close out the weekend though likely not as widespread or as heavy as with the “primary” cold front earlier in the weekend. A cool, dry blast of air arrives on Monday, Labor Day, featuring below-normal temperatures and very comfortable humidity levels.

The month of August will likely end up with very close-to-normal temperatures in much of the Mid-Atlantic region and Northeast US and it looks like September will get off to cool start. Indeed, a cool blast of air will push into the Upper Midwest and Great Lakes region later this weekend and then arrive in the Mid-Atlantic region and Northeast US on Monday, Labor Day following the passage of a couple of cold frontal systems. The initial cold front this weekend will likely result in numerous showers and thunderstorms later Saturday and Saturday night across the northeastern states and then a secondary cold front can produce some shower activity on Sunday and Sunday night. By Monday and Tuesday, highs will be confined to the 70’s across the Mid-Atlantic/NE US and overall humidity will be at very comfortable levels.

A strong cold front will approach the area later today and it’ll bring with it the chance of isolated thunderstorms during the afternoon and then another round of thunderstorms is possible from this evening into the overnight hours. Any thunderstorm later today or tonight can reach strong-to-severe levels with some heavy rainfall and powerful wind gusts. Ahead of the front, temperatures will soar today with afternoon highs well up in the 90’s and overall humidity levels will be quite uncomfortable; especially, compared to recent days.
It turns cooler on Thursday and Friday following the passage of the cold front, but also remains unsettled as the frontal system stalls out nearby. Looking ahead to the Labor Day weekend, the weather is likely to remain somewhat unsettled with the chance of showers and thunderstorms on Saturday and possibly again later Sunday as we’ll have to deal with a couple of cold frontal systems in the Mid-Atlantic region. A cooler and dry air mass will push into the northeastern states for the early part of next week.

High pressure will push into the region today providing us with quiet and warm weather, but the next cold front will bring us unsettled conditions by late tomorrow and tomorrow night. In fact, there is the chance for late day and nighttime showers and thunderstorms on Wednesday and some of the storms can be strong-to-severe. Temperatures will soar tomorrow ahead of the cold front reaching well up into the 90’s for afternoon highs, but then they’ll drop off noticeably for Thursday and Friday following the passage of the front. Looking ahead, Labor Day weekend is looking somewhat unsettled from this vantage point with the chance of additional showers and thunderstorms from time-to-time.

High pressure to our north dominated the weather scene around here for several days, but it loses control today as an upper-level trough builds into the Northeast US. As a result, there will be some cloudiness later today and the chance of afternoon and evening showers and thunderstorms...some of the storms can be strong. The next system of note will be a cold frontal system that crosses the region on Wednesday night likely accompanied by a round of showers and thunderstorms. It turns quite hot ahead of the front on Wednesday with highs well up in the 90’s and then much more comfortable air mass will follow for the late week.

High pressure to our north will remain in control of the weather as we end the work week and then slide off the east coast on Saturday. This repositioning of the high will open the door for seasonably warm air to push northeastward into the Mid-Atlantic region; however, overall humidity levels should remain moderate. The threat of rain will remain minimal around here during the next couple of days, but an upper-level low could increase the chances during the early part of next week.

High pressure to our north will remain in control of the weather for the next couple of days and continue to anchor a very comfortable air mass for this time of year. The high pressure system shifts offshore by early this weekend and this repositioning will open the door for warmer air to move into the area from the southern states, but no sustained extreme heat is in sight. The chances for rain should be minimal around here for the next few days.
One final note, this cool shot we’re enjoying has been pretty impressive for August. The low temperature at Newark, NJ on Wednesday was 58 degrees. The last time the temperatures fell into the 50’s during the month of August in Newark was in 2008.

High pressure to our north will remain in control of the weather in the Mid-Atlantic region for the next few days. The air mass in place is cooler-than-normal for this time of year and quite dry as well with comfortable humidity levels. The high shifts offshore by the weekend and this repositioning will open the door for warmer air to move into the area from the southern states. There continues to be, however, no sustained extreme heat in sight.
