Synopsis:
A strong Southerly flow around high pressure in the Atlantic and a deep trough in the East will result in balmy conditions and scattered showers today. There will be dry times. More clouds than sun is expected. Passover begins at sundown which is at 7:39PM.
A round of steady and heavier rain is likely tonight into Saturday as a storm develops over the central Appalachians and moves North. At the same time a front will be sweeping into the area. Thunderstorms are possible as well. Where the plume of heavy rain sets up is yet to be determined. Also, the speed of the front moving off the coast may slow resulting in the rain continuing into a part of the afternoon. Flooding is a concern, especially in areas that received heavy rain earlier this week. A Flash Flood Watch is in effect for Friday Night and Saturday for the entire tri-state area.
Easter Sunday will feature a mix of clouds and sun. A spot shower can’t be ruled out as an upper level low moves over the area.
On Monday, the upper low looks to stall for a time. Some of the models redevelop a low just off the coast. If this pans out Monday will feature showers.
Tuesday will be partly sunny and much warmer.
Keep it here for a no nonsense, no hype forecast.
Stay tuned.
