Powerful thunderstorms that pounded western and central New York last night fell apart by the time they reached the southeastern part of the state due to some very dry air in place around here and also the overall weakening of support in the upper atmosphere. High pressure returns to the area today as a weak cold front settles just to our south. This same frontal system will turnaround late tomorrow and lift through the area as a warm front with some shower activity and perhaps a thunderstorm. It’ll turn out quite warm and downright humid on Friday with an occasional shower and an afternoon or evening thunderstorm is possible; however, much of the day should be rain-free. More widespread shower activity is expected for Saturday as a cold front arrives and then an upper-level low form in the eastern US and produce additional unsettled weather around here during the early part of next week.

A warm front lifts through the area today and it will become quite warm with afternoon highs in the low-to-mid 80’s and there should be plenty of sunshine with increasing southerly winds. A cold front arrives tonight and it can bring with it some shower activity...perhaps even an isolated thunderstorm or two. High pressure returns at mid-week, but the weather then becomes quite unsettled for the late week and early part of the weekend with a couple of low pressure systems impacting the Mid-Atlantic region.

There have been numerous colder-than-normal air masses in recent weeks pushing into the central and eastern US from Canada and also into the western US from the eastern Pacific Ocean. The continuing influx of these colder-than-normal air masses along with an active jet stream has led to numerous severe weather outbreaks in recent weeks. Indeed, severe weather is likely later today and tonight with a focus on the Upper Midwestern states of Minnesota, Wisconsin, Iowa and Illinois though some severe thunderstorm activity can extend all the way south and west to the south-central states of Texas and Oklahoma. The overall pattern that has produced these occasional cold air and severe weather outbreaks in the US looks quite likely to last at least into the first part of May with a risk next Monday and Tuesday in the nation’s mid-section.

The week starts off with high pressure in control and there will be plenty of sunshine today with temperatures likely peaking in the middle 70’s during the afternoon hours after a chilly start. After a dry and warm day on Tuesday, showers will be a threat on Tuesday night with the arrival of a frontal system. High pressure returns for the mid-week and partial sunshine on Wednesday should boost temperatures to the mid-to-upper 70’s. Low pressure and associated frontal systems will result in unsettled weather conditions later this week into the weekend with the threat of showers from time-to-time and perhaps a thunderstorm or two.

High pressure will push offshore today and that’ll open the door for a couple of frontal systems to impact the region with some shower activity from later tonight into Saturday. First, a warm front will lift through the area later today and then a cold front will follow later tomorrow. The combination of the two frontal systems will result in occasional showers here from later tonight into Saturday and there can be a thunderstorm or two mixed into the picture. High pressure to our northwest takes control of the weather for Sunday, Monday and Tuesday and it’ll become increasingly warm with 80+ degrees for highs by the middle of next week. The next threat of showers will come at mid-week when another frontal system slides towards the eastern seaboard.
