Near Record Highs Thursday. Mid-May Feel…

Synopsis:

Near record high temperatures are possible today. Any morning fog or clouds will give way to mostly sunny skies. It will feel more like mid May then mid March. The wind will blow from the Southwest around an area of high pressure off the Mid-Atlantic coast. This will result in temperatures skyrocketing into the lower to mid 70s away from the immediate coast. The record high for Central Park for today is 73º set in 1977. It will be close. Coastal areas will be much colder with readings in the 50s and 60s due to the colder Atlantic influence. The map above tells the story.

A weakening cool front will move through during the day on Friday. Spotty sprinkles are possible during the morning. It’ll still be warm with readings in the 60s.

The weekend will be cooler but bright with high pressure influencing our weather from Canada.

Stay Tuned.
