Synopsis:
Low pressure off the Mid-Atlantic coast will keep the on and off rain going for the first half of today. The upper level trough should be cold enough to support a mix of wet snow North. The highest elevations have the potential for a coating of snow. Most of the region in the NYC vicinity will be wet and not white. The sun may return later in afternoon with a gusty Northerly wind.
A freeze is expected for many areas outside of NYC tonight as cold air works in from Canada.
On Halloween (which is Saturday), strong cold high pressure will move into the region from Canada. Abundant sunshine is expected with readings not getting out of the 40s. Definitely a nip in the air for trick or treaters. At least it will be dry.
Saturday Night we “Fall Back” as we set the clocks back an hour to Eastern Standard Time. It’s also a good time to change the batteries in your smoke and carbon monoxide detectors. We will gain an hour of sleep but lose an hour of daylight Sunday afternoon.
Sunday will be partly sunny and more seasonal for November’s debut.
A significant cold front will move through Monday bringing with it the coldest airmass of the season so far on a gusty wind.
Chilled sunshine is expected for Tuesday as high pressure moves in.
Stay Tuned.
Keep it here for a no nonsense, no hype forecast.
