Pleasant Thursday. Red Flag Warning for NYC Vicinity…

Synopsis:

High pressure will take control from the North and West today resulting in a fine day with readings just above the average high of 56º.

Gusty winds and very dry air will create conditions that may promote the rapid spread of wildfires. A Red Flag Warning is in effect  for this afternoon and early this evening for Northeast NJ, NYC, Southern NY State, Long Island and CT. Please use caution with flammables outdoors.

A flow off the ocean and moisture working up from the South will cause showers to develop on Friday. It’ll be much cooler.

At this time the weekend looks to start off with clouds on Saturday morning with early showers. The clouds should break for some sun on Saturday. Sunday will feature plenty of sun. Both days will be mild with readings several degrees above the average.

Keep it here for a no nonsense, no hype forecast.
