Synopsis:
May’s debut will be unsettled as minor systems affect the tri-state area along a stationary front to the South the next five days. There will be large temperature swings from day to day. The clouds and sun will battle it out.
Today will be grey and chilly with a wind off the cold Atlantic. There will be areas of drizzle by afternoon. Highs will be ten to fifteen degrees below the average high of the upper 60s.
By Thursday, the wind will turn to the South for a time as the front moves to our North. This will allow very warm area to work up from the Mid-Atlantic. Readings will rise well into the 70s in many areas with the exception being areas to the North and East of the City (here the wind will still be off the cold Atlantic). Clouds will break for some sun. An afternoon thunderstorm can’t be ruled out.
Cooler readings and the chance of showers is the forecast for Friday as the stationary front slips just to the South.
The better day of the weekend looks to be Saturday. The wavy front will inch back to the North. Any showers will end Saturday morning. The sun will return. Temperatures will again pop into the lower 70s. By Sunday a storm will ride develop over Western Virginia and move just South of the City. Rain is likely. Some of the rain maybe heavy.
Stay tuned.
Keep it here for a no nonsense, no hype forecast.
